Unhappy Lifting my Carson 7x16 enclosed utility

I know this subject has been broached before but I need to lift my Carson 7x16 enclosed utility trailer by at least 4".

Larger tires are not an option as I do not have the clearance for such now.
The trailer drags going into and out of steep driveways and I have no options but to lift it. Tires not withstanding

Since the trailer has torsion bar suspension that is welded directly to the frame what are my options? (Without endangering myself or others)

Don't know either but we have the same issue with our 22' Millenium enclosed car hauler. On the backend of the trailer there are two big steel skids mounted on each side just for that scenerio.
And I have tested it a few times.

Hey Rick, If you have a spring/suspension shop in your area take it to them. They can lift it by welding in blocks on that torsion suspension. We've been look'n @ 5'vers I talked to them about the same issue because of the lift on my truck and they told me that our local spring shop can lift them by adding blocks.

a good tube spacer between the axles and the frame will hook you right up. just don't use thin stuff, get 3/16ths or thicker tube and box the ends. mike
