Lift kit raises your trailer frame by 2-5/8". Kit includes spacers and mounting hardware for single axle applications. Compatible with #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000-lb capacities.Worked just as they said it would. Only took a few hours with hand tools. If I were doing this more than once I'd have an impact wrench instead of a ratchet. So far I have never had a bad experience with etrailer. Ordered on phone Wed, received it on Friday. What more could I ask. The trailer axle had been replaced by previous owner and the tire rubbed the fender. etrailer walked me through on who to contact and determine which Dexter spacer I needed. Great sales reps and thanks Paula 643903
This is for a Dexter axle not Lippert axle. This has a hole pattern of 8" and Lippert requires a 9". It could come with a better paint job. I returned my order and the paint was flaking off without even installing it. Repaint it before you install as it just a chunk of metal. 470819
Purchased the lift for my 2006 StarCraft Centennial, which rides extremely low to the ground. The kit fit perfectly and the end result is I no longer scrape the rear of the trailer pulling into my driveway! The only draw back to the kit is the fine threads on the plated bolts makes them difficult to bolt together without an impact wrench. 493764
Poor quality hardware. Bolts had many burrs and would not thread without binding. 445053
Good quality part and bolts. Didn't fit my Livin Lite Jeep trailer. They are 1/4 inch too wide. Going to cut them down and install. Looks like all the dexter lifts are the same width. Livin Lite used a narrow axle with 1 3/4 wheel spacer so the pivot on the axle is right agains the frame. That is a Livin Light issue not Torflex. Took off one star for the paint. As others noted it is comically thin. The cavity where the bolts rested in shipping chipped away all the paint and they were in a plastic bag. You could build this yourself from 2" tubing. You would need to go source all the bolts, but wouldn't be that hard. Going to keep it and cut it down as noted above since it saves me time at this point. This would have been a 15 minute install had my trailer had a wider perch. 474984
This kit worked great, less than 2 hrs. to install. Like other reviews the paint is the weak point, easily chipped off due to poor surface prep and no primer. Powder Coat would be huge improvement, Price was good for Dexter factory parts and the hardware was good quality. Be aware the nuts are self locking (no lock washers) and only go on one way. Would liked to have a little more lift so some height options would be nice. 495937
Was a retrofit for my 2018 Forest River Flagstaff A-Frame Model 21TBHW. Dexter #10 Torflex axel No drilling or welding but tires do need to be off for the lift bracket install. Instructions provided are well written & clear. You will need jack stands and a good torque wrench to complete the install correctly. No issues with brake cables being short. If you can or have rotated your own tires this should not be a problem for you. Bolts have to be torqued and even with a great torque wrench and a 3 foot pull arm you are in a tight spot so if you can't bench press 150+ you need to get a battery or air impact torque driver. Hope this helps. I am very happy with the install and got about 3.5" of lift easy to see in the photos. 522256
Perfect fix! Lifted up the camper just right for the 2 gray tanks I installed this past winter. Install was as per the instructions. 512249
Product fit right in easy to install. Only issue we had to mount spacer oppsite direction bc our camper had bracket welded opposite of what instruction imaged showed. That however is a design issue with our 04 jayco. 466933
Lift kit was used on Jayco X17Z Camper, as I wanted to do more rural camping and gain better ground clearance, as this camper is very low in the first place. Product was great and everything fitted nicely with no issues, see pictures. The only issue I had was with the nuts and bolts, they were quite tight on the threads, certainly won't come undone. 404202
Shipped on time, easy install. Approx. 1 hour. Lifted the R-Pod trailer, to a height, worth having. Before installation, the trailer would drag, just leaving the parking lot. Now it is usable. Will add a taller tire, when the old ones wear out. 503281
Perfect fit, easy install, and just enough extra height to keep my jack from scraping all the time. It definitely helps to have an impact wrench to deal with the tapered thread suspension bolts. 526911
Did the job for me. With the trailer raised by approx 2 1/2" I no longer catch the rear stabilizer jacks when backing up a steep incline into the rear of my yard. Decided not to install it myself, but local tire shop did the installation for $100. Would certainly recommend this lift kit if you need to raise your trailer for any reason. 663499
Great product for lifting our R-Pod just a bit to improve ground clearance. Seemed to actually improve handling just a bit, but then that is up to the individual tow vehicle/hitch/trailer setup. Product installed just fine except for the XTRA tight torque required--need a big torque wrench or a lot of muscle! Thanks, e-trailer, for your great service! 658003
Perfect fit ,,, follow install instructions and its a piece of cake.I needed approximately 2 inches of lift and I got it 653929
Hardware was excellent but our rpod had 9” centres for the bolts. The review said to use the kit I ordered for the number 7 axle. The set I received was at 8” centres so I had to slot the holes to make them fit. Glad you had heavy duty washers. Happy with finished job. 652492
This is a simple product that does exactly what it is supposed to do, lifting the trailer for more ground clearance. The installation instructions are clear and if you follow them it's not that difficult to install. The hardware is high quality and the metal parts are welded and machined to close tolerances. 647034
Now I can back in driveways without bottoming out. Was super easy install! 636495
Put the lift kit on my tandem axle 16' trailer and, loaded it with 2 ATV and camping gear and pulled it through mountainous switchback roads in Idaho. Needed the lift for crossing washouts. Worked as advertised. Quality hardware. 634254
Easy install, great instructions with photos. The reason behind the three stars as many have pointed out the paint job is terrible it just flakes off, which I have noticed on the Dexter axle my trailer came with. 612069
Well made, heavy metal suited for the task. Good installation instructions 594784
Would recommend. No tire issues with alignment after install and 10,000 miles. 585684
The risers worked perfect. The paint was not the best, but I expected that after reading reviews of this product. 585632
great price 558062
The K71-707-01 LIFT KIT FOR MY 5TH WHEEL FIT WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT TOOK TO RECIEVE MY KITS WAS REALLY NO TIME AT ALL . ALL MY TRAILER PARTS FROM THIS DATE ON WILL BE HANDLE BY E- TRAILER I am very pleased with the way my parts request was handle THANK YOU 528847
It worked great and color photo instructions helped and fit just right on my x17z ... The only thing I was not sure about is the 3 or 4 extra washers. 528296
I took a look at the installation instructions for part K71-707-01. There are two bolts that go through the back of the frame spacers and the frame bracket on the vehicle. These two bolts require one washer on the nut side only. The other two bolts go through the bottom of the frame spacer securing it to the axle bracket. These two bolts require two washers, one on the bolt side and one on the nut side. Repeat this process on the other side of the axle.

Heather A - 06/29/2018It worked great and fit just right on my x17z 528295
Assembled easily and worked great. Trailer has enough lift now I don't hit the driveway as I go in and out. 522832
I ordered these for my 1997 Jayco 1207 KB popup camper. I ordered item K71-723-01 to provide extra clearance for the tires. Everything shipped quickly! I ordered three of these tires and wheels. They are all great and fit perfectly. 502548
No bolts, nuts, or washers came with it. That was disappointing. Otherwise it was a good purchase. 496264
I have to say this company has been great! I shot them in a question on adding some axle risers for our ‘17 R-Pod. And not only did they get right back to me but offered me multiple options & few other things to consider while taking on this project. I really liked that it was like talking shop with one of the guys and I appreciate the time they took to help us out. I know it sounds like I have a bromance with this company and yes I have been bragging to friends about these guys but I believe this company had my back and wasn’t just trying to sell me something. Thank you to all at Etrailer Corp. See on y’all on the mountain. 477402

The customer service rep was very nice and helpful in determining which lift kit my axles needed. The parts are well made. The pre-drilled holes were right on the money and aligned perfectly. If you are looking for a little more clearance or trying to prevent tire rub when fully loaded, I absolutely recommend this lift. 613994

Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
I love this product and the lift it gave my torsion axle equipped cargo trailer, which was basically a "low rider" and would occasionally drag the tail on step gas station entrances, etc. I installed it myself. It was time consuming and require multiple jacks and jack stands to accomplish it, but anyone that's mechanically inclined and also has a torque wrench can accomplish it. 505245
Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
Very disappointed with this item. Poor coating, loose packaging, not enough flat washers, and I had to run a tap down all the nuts so they would go onto the bolts. It would have been helpful to have the torque specs for the bolts. 443529

BUYER BEWARE: DO NOT BUY THIS KIT TO LIFT A WINNEBAGO MICRO MINI TRAVEL TRAILER WITHOUT MEASURING YOUR AXEL BOLT SPACING! The “expert” advise of Connor L. to the question “Best Way to Lift a 2018 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106FBS” that this is the “best way” is WRONG / MISLEADING at best. In fact this is the the WORST WAY because this kit WILL NOT fit on a Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106FBS which is fitted with a dual Lippert Component 3500 lb rated torsion Axel Part No. 866-524-7821 (Winnebago part # 20141311000). (See attached picture). Crawl under your trailer and look for the axel label that is in the center underside of the axel. If you have the same axels that I have, DO NOT BUY THIS KIT. Instead buy two single axel Lippert Part Number LC270628 which does have 9 inch bolt spacing. It will give you more lift and the two kits are less expensive than this dual axel kit. Also as noted by others, my initial inspection of the parts straight out of the box is that the protective coating / paint on these is minimal / inadequate at best. IMHO, additional undercoating / painting / powder coating will be needed to avoid corrosion on this undercarriage part. 634115

All went well, like others said the paint was flaking off, doesn't look like they used primer under the topcoat. I'll just spray on some undercoating when the weather warms a bit . Install went quick. both sides done in 2 1/2 hours. Overall, the 2 5/8 lift is just right for our purposes. I installed this on a 2018 Lance 2285. The only reason for a 4 star rating is the paint quality, otherwise an excellent product. 502358

Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
Good kit, install straight forward, installed on an Airstream Flying Cloud 23D 2017. I needed to move the shock absorbers to install, then put them back on. I also needed to relocate a gas line that went to the water heater, as it was run through a gap in the axel mounting plate. Would have given it 4 stars but they shorted me one washer. I reused a washer from the old hardware. 392097
Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
Everything works as said but...... paint sucks packing sucks missing bolts and washers. Crappy welds seems like it’s about 100$ over priced for what you get and the quality. Will it work yes. Did I have to reweld and repaint then yes. If I didn’t have to ship them back I would return them. But it seems like less work just to fix them and repaint. 483071

Service was very good. Received product in just a few day. Have not installed the lift kit yet bit it appears to be very good quality. 462564
Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
It was a easy fix to lift my 1988 Jayco, about 2 hours including finding and placingthe jack stands, didn’t have to take off the wheels like the video recommends, used wrenches instead of hooking up air and using the impact gun! Looks great when I kick back and look at it! 565272
Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
I give a "good" rating only due to small discrepancies such as seen in attached pics. The product is not powder coated, as claimed, yet appears to be enamel baked on without primer. I went no further than opening the box and viewing the contents, after seeing the ragged condition the product was in (see pics). Seems strong enough to do what was intended, just not on my TT. Will I buy from etrailer in the future? YOU BET! 410954

Lift kit works well, seems well engineered. Hard to install, but I knew that. 251761
Great. Really helps on rough roads and steep driveway transitions. Dont notice a mileage difference. Airstream should use an axle with steeper angle!
Stephen L - 05/26/2017Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
I ordered the Dexter K71-707-02 lift kit for my Haulmark Transport trailer. It was on back order and took two weeks to arrive but etailer.com communicate this to me with a phone call. I thought that was great customer service since most companies these days just email if anything. The product arrive as described accept for the poor quality finish. I stripped it down and re-painted it. That was not such a big deal since I painted all the parts as I installed them and touched up my axle, hubs and under body while the wheels were off. It installed easily and raised my trailer just as I needed. My trailer was so low it scraped on drives and the rear stabilizer jacks did not have enough room to deploy. Tip: The nuts in this kit are locking nuts and require a considerable amount of torque to tighten them. I used a pneumatic impact gun that made the job go much quicker. 494023

I ordered this kit to provide extra room for tires(AM3S120) that have a higher speed rating. Everything shipped quickly! The kit fit perfectly with no problems. 502435
Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
This is a Dexter lift kit for there Torflex axles. The hardware is good quality. My only negative opinion about it is the quality of the paint job. No primer, most of the paint fell off in the box! I will need to knock what little paint is left off and do it correctly before I can install it. etrailer did a great job of communication and was quick to ship. Accurate description and the correct part. Thanks etrailer! 394215
Review from a similar Dexter Axle Torflex in Accessories and Parts
I ordered this kit in mid-May after seeing an email about it from a competitor site to etrailer.com. I ordered from the other site then got an email stating that the kit was on back order from Dexter until the end of June. I googled the Dexter part number and found that etrailer.com also sold it, and even better, etrailer was offering free freight and a slightly lower cost. Since the kit is heavy, free freight would save me about $40, so I cancelled the order with the first company and re-ordered from etrailer.com. I got an email from them as well about the extended back order but then, I also got a follow up call from them explaining the situation. The call was an extra added touch that I appreciated. Then, right at the end of May, I got an email stating that my Dexter kit had shipped, so I figured that etrailer.com must have put some pressure on Dexter to get off their butt and ship it! The kit itself was great, really well made parts, powder coated and heavy gauge. Honestly, I am surprised that they sell it for only $150. The install is tricky and will take you 6 hours if you are good with tools and like wrenching. Don't attempt this project on your own if you are not. Pay a trailer guy $400 to do it. You have to keep the axles aligned when you drop them...and the bolt placement is not great so you have to have hands that can fit in the tight cramped space and be able to get a wrench on the. Over all, I am very happy with the lift, it was a pretty simple and cost effective way for me to get better clearance for my Airtsream.....Airstreams are notoriously low and with the approach I have from my street to the driveway, I constantly battled dragging either the hitch or the rear. This kit solved that. I am super satisfied and highly recommend it if you are in the same situation as I was. Buy it from etrailer.com, they have the best customer service I have experienced when buying trailer and camping items on the internet. 258114
The lift kit has worked out very well. I notice that things I. The trailer bounce around a little more since I did the lift but overall I am still glad I did it since I no longer worry about dragging the rear end of the trailer when entering or leaving my driveway. Very happy with my purchase!
