Well, it goes like this.
I have been contemplating a 2” lift for the past year or so, to give that little bit of extra ground clearance, but have been putting it off as a “nice to have” rather than a “must have”.

Now, about eight months ago, I invested in a Camper Trailer and over the last few camping trips, noticed that on occasion, I had trouble swinging the jockey wheel into its travelling position. Not too bad when on dirt, it was just a matter of scraping a shallow groove to give the jockey wheel the necessary clearance. But on a concrete driveway, or at a Camping ground where the ground is nicely grassed, it became a hassle to wind the wheel up enough to gain the clearance.

Cut and re-weld you say? No way. That would be a major exercise and would look like bleep .

“How about I lift the Jack a couple of inches” I said to SHMBO. “Should work” she agrees.

So that is how I justified a modest lift.

Got it done today.
Will find out this weekend if it worked:-)))
