Question:
I have a 67 Aristocrat loliner with a 2 3/8 axle. I would like to raise it 2-3” It is already spring over. It was originally designed to park in a garage and is too low for the campsites I visit. I was wondering if lifting blocks and longer U bolts would be feasible? The trailer is 15’ 5” overall length and weighs 1800 lbs empty. Thank you for your advice

While it is feasible, it is not the recommended way to add lift. Instead, what you can do is replace your hangers with longer ones, or go with a Timbren axle-less system. You will get 4" of lift by using # ASR3500S06, which has a capacity of 3,500 lbs, or a similar unit to replace your axle's capacity.
I've added a link to our selection of hangers as well as each of our Timbren systems for you to take a look at.
