Default Raising Ride Height

We recently bought an 89 33b and when you look at it from the side it looks like it just came out of a low rider shop. Everywhere we go it drags one end or the other. I jacked it up to look at the running gear and saw that it has 6 inch dropped axles on it. I was thinking about going from underslung springs to overslung springs but the end result wouldn't be enough lift. I called Dexter axle and found that I can get complete axles with hub and springs for $300.00 per axle. This is way cheaper than I thought it would be. I can get an eight to ten inch lift with this modification and I won't ever have to worry about knocking something off of the bottom anymore. I figure all it's going to take from my side is sweat and elbow grease, but reading all of your posts, it seems that is part of owning an RV. I will try to keep y'all posted on progress and if I can figure out how I'll post some pictures.

Wish me luck.
