Is it possible to do a lift on a torsion axle teardrop trailer? Or a body lift?
This is a rough (very rough) drawing of the frame.

I was also thinking of a body lift at the four body tabs adding a 2x2 square metal block, longer bolts washers etc.
Would it put a lot of pressure at these four points with the floor sitting only on 2x2 square area?
Thanks for any ideas how to get a little lift on the trailer.

Hi Kai,

i made a conversion of my m416 to raise the load capacity and add some brakes. To meet the german TUV approval i use a torsion axle.
Here are some pictures of my solution, a bodylift:

Now my Trailer has a official gross vehicle weight of 1200 kg and a net weight of 395 kg (incl. 285/75 R16, the same Tires like my TJ).
