My parents raised their first one, a 1975 model. B I am convinced, that after exhaustive talks with my father ten years ago, that this was a contributing factor to their trailer having rolled in an emergency lane change on the highway. B I would not ever do my own, nor would I ever recommend it. B My father wanted the extra ground clearance, but the tradeoff is not worth it. B You can bet he did not do the axle flip on the second S/S. There is only so much movement (rocking) that, first, the shock absorbers and, second, the springs can handle when the trailer starts to tip for whatever reason. B The design of the suspension needs to be different to accommodate this increased height.
