Done tore one of the rear stabilizers off

Got the new SV264 out of the shed and took it up into the yard. I have already bent one the stabs up to the point that I will have to replace it.
I have the equa-flex suspension system and have read of some moving the axle from the top of the spring to the bottom to give me increased clearance. Is this the best option?

Most likely your only option for more clearance.
Is your trailer nose high when hooked up?

The dealer called Forest River and has ordered me a lift kit for the trailer. I will let you know what I get for my $250.
