Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Lifting the E


Hey Guys.

I have a new Chevy and now need to raise the 5er up at the axles at least 2ins to maintain the level. Can I place blocks between the axle perch and springs? I can lift the hitch no problem.

I do not have enough clearance between the bed and overhang.

If the axles currently are above the springs,above the leafs, you can move them under the springs. It's commonly referred to as an axle flip. It gains you the diameter of the axle in height. Most folks get new u shackles so their not re torquing the old ones from the factory.
