Lowering blocks for a trailer?

[grumpybastard]

Okay this might be a daft question?

But can you buy lowering blocks for trailers?

Back in my day of drum brakes and leaf springs when you went to lower a car you would drop in a couple of alloy blocks between the leaf spring and the axle and bolt it all up with some longer u-bolts.

Can you buy these for trailers?

I really need to lower the trailer, its nose down and bum up and why is the D2 tow ball so damn low anyway?

Get a different hitch that raises the trailer....

Better for clearance etc..... and stronger!!!

If it's a Hayman Reese tow bar, why not just invert the ball section, take the ball hitch off and pop it other way up ?

Or will that hit the rear door when opened ?

I think it may be so the rear door can be opened whith a trailer on. My door only just misses a lot of hitches, and depending on the angle of the ground, sometimes I still cant open it. The D2 factory hitch wont invert like a Hayman recce one, though a hayman reece hitch may fit, which you could then invert.

This said, I had to do a spring over conversion on my trailer to level it out again. :D

Yes a Hayman Reece type hitch will be accepted by a LR reciever. When offroad I use my old Haymen Reece tongue off my old V8 with a Bowshackle replacing the towball. It is inverted and does not cause a problem with opening the door. The shackle does sit slightly lower than a towball though.
