My vehicle is a tad to tall for my trailer and I need to raise it up just a bit. The very best option is to flip the axle over and mount the springs on the top instead of the bottom, where they are now. The factory install has the springs under the axle with rear shackle straps. My question is, when I flip the springs and axle should I toss the straps and mount both sides of the springs to the spring hangers or should the shackle straps be installed again?
Second is, why the straps at all?
