LC270682 / 164888 4400# Diamond Torsion Axle 3-1/2" Lift Kit
A replacement 3-1/2" lift kit for compatible 4400# diamond torsion axle applications where the axle style, mounting points, and 9" center-to-center bolt hole spacing match.
Overview
This R&P Carriages lift kit is built for compatible 4400# diamond torsion axle applications. The risers install between the trailer frame and axle to raise the trailer by 3-1/2", helping add ground clearance and room for larger tires where the trailer, fender, and suspension setup allow.
R&P Service Insight
Axle lift kits are fitment-sensitive. A correct match depends on axle rating, axle style, mounting hole spacing, and available trailer clearance.
- Lift Height: Raises the trailer height by 3-1/2" between the trailer frame and axle.
- Mounting Match: Built for 9" center-to-center mounting hole spacing.
- Application Check: Confirm the trailer uses the correct 4400# diamond torsion axle configuration before ordering.

Before Ordering: Verify axle rating, diamond torsion axle style, lift amount, bolt hole spacing, mounting position, trailer clearance, and included components before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
Most lift kit installation issues come from ordering against the part number alone without checking the trailer. Measure the mounting holes, verify the axle style, and check surrounding clearance before starting the job.
- Hole Spacing Check: Confirm the mounting holes measure 9" center to center.
- Clearance Check: Re-check tire, fender, step, stabilizer, brake wiring, and coupler angle after the lift.
- Hardware Check: Match the included 5/8" hardware to the mounting points and installation requirements for the trailer.
