Hi Michael; it looks like that is the 30SA-8 which has a 3,500 lb axle. However, I can't tell if it is a standard axle with leaf springs or a torsion axle. If it is a Dexter torsion axle then the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-01 you looked at is likely the right kit. However, I would double check the axle tag and make sure it is a #10. You could also check the bolt hole spacing which should be 8" on center.
If you have a standard axle with leaf springs sitting below the axle you could use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This will flip the axle so the leaf springs sit on top, raising the trailer by the diameter of the axle and leaf spring stack. This fits a 2-3/8" diameter axle which is the standard for a 3,500 lb. Occasionally they are 3" so I would double check. If that is the case you need the # K71-385-00 instead.
