Dexter Lift Kit - E19

I am preparing to install the Lift Kit on my E 19. I was hoping to get input on lifting and supporting Escape trailer so it is stable and safe to tackle both axles. Position for 4 point blocking. I understand from E Trailer that 4" is sufficient lift to reinstall wheels with lift blocks installed.
Did others find electric brake wires were long enough to accommodate the drop? Were lift block centres on holes matching frame spacing? Any tips with the install procedure?

Dexter Lift Kit

I installed a Dexter lift kit on my Escape 2022 19. Instructions are included and it is simple to install. I was lucky I had a friend with a lift in his RV garage. It took about 2 hours to install, and I am very happy with it. All my plumbing is above the axel and should not get damaged from debris on rough roads. Good luck with the mod.

There are some vids on Youtube showing how easy it is with a hydraulic Jack.

Had no problem installing the lift kit on my 1st generation 19. You will need a torque wrench to do the job properly--if you don't own one, you can rent one. Just as with your wheels, you will want to re-torque everything after about a thousand miles of use just to be safe.
