Just saw this in an email from etrailer. Looks really interesting.

It says 4" lift but it also says "keeps trailer deck height the same." I'm not sure I can reconcile those two. Presumably you can increase ground clearance since you'd mount the required 2" square crossmember higher than the torsion axle but the deck height remains the same?

That would require some serious reinforcement of the frame where it attaches.

It does require a cross brace be procured and installed between the two assemblies; presumably it's designed not to torque the frame rails.
