SubscriberAlot easier tooSpring lift = money. Towbar change = money and reduced departure angle.
Springover = Free

I have done 3 of these now, 1 a Jayco Swan Camper trailer, 2 my 6x4, 3 an 18ft Empire poptop van I had. All were done to give a little more ground clearance and to suit a 4by's height better but by no means makes them an offroader. I found they all still towed well. How hard to do depends on what equipment you have but generally pretty easy and I'm no mechanic. One tip when doing it is mark your axle both sides where the spring sat to ensure you keep your axle centrered properly. I didnt rotate the axles on mine just basically put it under instead of on top and yes dont forget to turn the bolt around in the spring. Depending on what brakes are on it make sure the cables, lines or wires still reach no problems.
Note: Be aware that if you have an annexe it will no longer reach the ground.I found out the hard way
Step will also be higher.
