The axle rise on my '71 28 ft is about 3 or 4
inches. If  it's anything like mine, installing a
straight axle will raise the ride  height for that
axle.
You might try this for a get you home fix.  
Mount the straight axle and flip and/or change the
other axle's spring  shackles to get it to the same
ride height as the straight axle. Deal with  the rest
of it when you get home.
