    has anyone retrofitted flatbed with Hendrickson UBL bold on lift kit? If so what is the ground clearance? Any issues?

    I installed a Hendrickson SBL on the front axle of my East stepdeck. There's time when id kiss the ground with the tires pulling in and out of certain places, but I never had issues going down the road at highway speeds.

    That’s what I was needing to know. Didn’t want issues hitting road and defeating purpose of lift.

    That's what I was wondering. I run 255/75/22.5 on my step. The SBL (side beam lift) is what I used because my suspension is underslung. It was a weld on kit, I know the newer UBL is a bolt on kit so that's nice. You can also weld it on as well if you desire.

    One thing you will need to do, is since it's a newer trailer, you'll need to have someone with the Wabco Meritor software plug into it and set the lift axle function up. Othwise you will have abs issues.

    I personally have not, but alot of the fellas I run with do. They love them. If I spec a new truck or trailer in the future, it will have disc.
