We just bought this unit and our blueox WDH rides about two inches off the ground now (previous trailer was a straight A frame not lowered like the RPod is). Sooo hitting a cattle guard or anything would be catastrophic. Now we are looking for options that won't break the bank. Any WDH is not optional for us due to high traffic speeds on highways and high winds.

Has anyone had a lift kit/risers installed on these trailers in particular or any lightweight trailer? Or are there other options we should ask about?
 
Many axles are over or under sprung. I boondock so on dirt roads quite frequently. My wdh stays on the truck most of the time. The truck has 150,000 miles on it, and the hitch drags entering almost every parking lot. Honestly when the hitch is removed, it seems weird not having anything dragging when in town.

The ball height is set according to the ball height specified in the trailer specs. Nothing catastrophic has happened yet.

Turns out I learned how to use my Blueox WDH instead :) I just needed to tighten up the chain links and it came up by four more inches. Which is what it's supposed to be at. No risers are needed. Problem solved.
The last trailer had the chain part set lower, we just assumed that the tech helping us knew what he was doing with our new rig. Thinking back we probably could have hitched the WDH a little higher as well to avoid scraping the WDH bar bolts. Live and learn.
