We tow with a 2015 Jeep GC with a 4" drop. Although everything works fine. When hooked up the trailer is still about 2" high in the front. If I drop the hitch 2 more inches I am afraid I will have problems with it dragging. What I would like to do is add a 2-3" lift to the axel. The Outback axel would be to much lift. Dexter the manufacturer of the axel has a 2 5/8" lift kit available, but it only fits a #9 Torflex axel. I have not been able to determine weather the T@B axel is a #9. I contacted NU Camp and so far they have not been able to give me the Dexter part #. All they were able to do was give me their part #.
attention PopTab: Sean if you are out there I remember you were looking into this at one time.
If anyone knows the Dexter # please let me know.
Verna: you are close to people at NU camp maybe you could get someone find the Dexter #.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I went to Dexter's web site and looked at the axles and the #9 axle and kit are for the 2200# axle. The axle on the T@B S unit is rated at 2900# according to the specs listed and would appear to be a #10 axle and kit you'll need.
When I talk to Dexter they can not help me without the exact axle #.

That was me. I did not do before and after measurements but I always thought it was around 2", but I honestly wouldn't notice the difference with another 5/8". It has worked out well for me. I have been very pleased with the extra clearance.

I was quite sure the outback axel lift was more than 2" looks closer to 5". I am looking for 2". I am still trying to find out the Dexter part # for standard T@B axel. Mine is covered by the underbelly.
It sure didn't feel like 5", but it is noticeable. I can still manage the step into the trailer without an additional portable step.

Axle would be about $300-400 and the labor should be around an hour.
