I'm wondering if I can adjust the height on the axle under my Jayco Hybrid? It's a torsion type axle. I would like to put a little larger tires on it to get it off the ground a little farther.
Thanks

Yes that is possible. You need to do what they call an axle flip. You will gain between 5 and 6 inches. That should give you plenty of room. If this was my camper I would have a welding shop do it for me since the will be some welding on the shackles that will need to be done.
