Thank you for the photo; it shows that you have a Torflex axle and we do have lift kits available for that type of axle. You will need to know your axle's weight capacity of the axle number for you to get the correct kit. That information should be able to be found stamped on the axle itself.

For a # 9 Torflex axle with a 2,000 lb capacity the correct lift kit is # K71-723-01 and for a #10 Torflex axle with capacities from 2,300 lbs to 4,000 lbs the correct lift kit is # K71-707-01. Each of these kits will provide you with 2-5/8" of lift; I've added links to the instructions for both kits as well as video reviews of each part for you to take a look at.
