You generally dont need a kit, unless it has something to do with the brakes.

Edit. I didn't t read everything. I havent see a centering pin/king pin. If you dont have one is a simple as moving the axle, which has a crown, the top needs to stay the top. Moving the axle will mean you gotta back further down the ramp too, and you should raise your hitch by however much you raise the trailer.

The old tires were close to rubbing but nothing like this. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble with boat ramps. My truck is a little higher than stock so with a 2” drop that I’m using the front of the trailer was a little high anyway, this might level it out some. I haven’t ever really paid close attention to the axle but it sure seem like a straight 2”x2” square tube

If you're pretty much mechanically inclined. Jack up axle on one side , place jack stand under trailer frame near axle, remove tire, leave rolling floor under axle then lower jack till trailer frames weight is on jack stand. Loosen u-bolt nuts , then jack axle up , off of spring, then u can see if it has a center pin bolt, then look on bottom off axle and see if there is a hole drilled in it.

The lift kit idea works as long as your springs are adequate for the load..
