What model Expanda. Touring or outback. I will take a stab at touring as I haven’t heard of people raising their OB model. An underslung axle mod sounds like what you are after. A few have done it and documented it here. Use the search function and see how you get on until someone who has actually done it chimes in with first h

Single or dual axle ?????? ...............................................Straight axle ??? ................

If you have a look thru here I should have done a bit on when I lifted my 14 http://expandasdownunder.com/threads/drovers-14-44-3.4502/ I have also given some rundowns elsewhere but have no idea where...

.Lift would be in order of 80 - 100mm, easy enough to DIY if you have 4 x truck stands and a concrete pad to work on with some basic tools and Common Dog ..........

Then it's not that hard, I will see if I can find the How To I did on it as I don't want to do it again.

Just be mindful that if you have an annexe that it will be short but there are way around that.

@Nathan Tidy I have redone a thread on Underslinging an axle and it is here.

I pretty sure I covered it all if not someone will point out my errors, it is one of those jobs that requires vigilance on safety but isn't all that hard with some thought.
