Features to know about

Effortless Elevation: 2-7/8" Lift for Your Trailer

Need more ground clearance for your trailer travels? The Torflex Lift Kit provides a 2-7/8" lift, raising your trailer frame to clear obstacles like steep driveways and gas station entrances with ease. Perfect for those who often found themselves dragging the bottom of their Airstream or travel trailer.

Designed for Dexter Dependability: #11 Torflex Compatibility

If you have a Dexter #11 Torflex axle with 4,100-6,000 lbs capacity, this kit is tailored for you. It's a seamless upgrade that maintains the integrity of your axles while boosting your trailer’s height. Just ensure your axles have side-mounted brackets since top-mounted ones aren’t suitable.

Perfect Alignment Every Time: Precision-Made Spacer Kit

The spacer kit includes 4 frame spacers, each precisely dimensioned to 11” long x 2-3/4” wide x 2-1/2” tall, ensuring a perfect fit and alignment with 9-1/2" bolt hole spacing. This engineering accuracy is appreciated especially in DIY projects, avoiding trial and error frustration.

Made for Tandem Axles: Custom Fit Extra Stability

Tailored for tandem axle setups, this lift kit ensures that both axles work in unison, maintaining stability and safety. It’s ideal for longer or heavier trailers like a 31-foot Airstream, securing an even lift that keeps your journey smooth and secure.

Comprehensive Installation: Complete with Hardware

No need to make additional trips to the store—this kit comes complete with necessary mounting hardware: 16 hex lock nuts and screw hex cap bolts. Perfect for a straightforward installation process, saving you time and ensuring all components fit together seamlessly.

Strength Focused Design: Heavy-Duty Construction

Crafted from durable materials designed to withstand road and weather conditions, these parts promise a long-lasting solution. Whether you're tackling a rough terrain or city streets, this construction stands up to the test and gives you peace of mind on the road.

  • Lift Kit for a 2024 Airstream Globetrotter 30' Trailer
    Hey Seth, thanks for reaching out! I believe you have the Torflex #11 axles which means you would need the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 for a 2-7/8" lift. I recommend checking the tag on your axle to make sure this is accurate. If you find something different please let me know!

  • How to find the Correct Lift Kit for a Dexter Torflex Axle
    We offer four different axle lift kits for the Dexter Torflex axles. The difference between these kits is based on the weight capacity of the axle or tandem axles. There will be a tag on the axle shaft that will have the information needed to determine which lift kit is needed. The tag will have axle model listed and should list weight capacity and a serial number as well. For a Dexter 11 axle the recommended lift kit will be # K71-724-02 for tandem axles rated 4.1K to 6K lbs. This kit...

  • What Torflex Lift Kit For Dexter #11 Torflex Axle
    Hi Nick, unfortunately we don't have anything with bolt holes that are 9-3/4" apart on center, just 9-1/2" apart, so you may want to measure to get as exact as possible. Also, does your axle have a number on it, either 10 or 11, just below where it has the dimensions (it would say HF=xxxx, etc)?

  • Will RoadActive Suspension Kit Reduce Sag in 2017 GMC Sierra 2500?
    Though there is not a specific number I can offer, what I can tell you is that the Roadmaster Active Suspension Kit # RAS3611-HD is designed to level your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 under a maximum 3,000 lb load. So what will happen is you will no longer experience the 1" of sag you said you were encountering, though your trailer will ride an inch higher in front. This is going to be true regardless of the suspension enhancement though there may be a solution. If you haven't already, unbolt...

  • Which Lift Kit Fits 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB
    Hey Steven, from what I was able to determine from some research, the 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB does have a #11 Torflex axle on it, so the Dexter # K71-724-02 is the correct lift kit for your trailer. This is a 2-7/8 inch lift kit. Why are you wanting to lift your camper?

  • What Is the Correct Lift Kit for an Airstream Trailer with Torsion Axles
    I don't know what axles you have on your trailer but if you look at the axle tag it will tell you this. If you can't comprehend the axle sticker then just send me a photo of this and I will be happy to do that for you. There are a few different lift kits for torsion axle trailers but they vary by manufacturer and capacity. I have attached the options below: Tandem Dexter #11 Torflex Axle (4,100 - 6,000 Lbs) # K71-724-02 Tandem Dexter #10 Torflex Axle (2,300 - 4,000 Lbs) # K71-707-02 Single...

  • Recommended Lift kit for an Airsteam Globetrotter 27FB
    Hey Jeff, it looks like your Airsteam Globetrotter 27FB has tandem 6k axles so a lift kit like the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 that you were looking at should work great. The only caveat is that this kit is designed specifically for #11 Torflex axles so you'd need to verify that first. You could also use the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX which will work with 3" wide x 3-3/4" tall hangers, or 3" wide x 5" tall hangers and leaf springs up to 2" wide. If want 2"...

  • Can The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension TSR3500S05 Be Used With Torsion Axles?
    Hello again, James. We will need to consider a different approach here because the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension like part # TSR3500S05 cannot be used with torsion axles. In order to use the Silent Ride you would need to completely replace both axles, which kind of defeats the purpose of the Silent Ride system in the first place. If you want to look into it, I will need to know the length of your axle measured across from hub-face to hub-face. The 2" square axle is highly common. It...

  • Lift Kit Needed for #11 Torflex Axles with Top Mounting Holes
    Thank you for the pictures! I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle who was able to confirm that you have #11 Torflex axles so the correct lift kit is part # K71-724-02. Since yours has top mounting holes you also need the bracket kit # DX57FR for this lift kit to fit properly.

  • Lift Kit for a 2016 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB
    The most common way to lift a trailer, like your 2016 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB, is to add an over-under kit like part # K71-384-00 for a 2-3/8" axle diameter or part # K71-385-00 for a 3" axle diameter. These will raise your trailer equal to the diameter of your axle plus the height of your leaf spring stack. I'm not quite sure what axles you have on your Airstream so if you have something other than standard axles then let me know and I can help you find a different lift kit like part...

    David, so we do have a couple of potential lift kit options for your Rockwood travel trailer, but you're going to want to make sure that what you have will work with the kit. If you have #11 Torflex axles with a 4,100 - 6,000-lb capacity, then the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 would work great and would lift your trailer 2 7/8". If you have #12 Torflex axles with a 5,500 - 7,000 lb capacity, then the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-725-02 would work great and would lift your trailer 3 1/8". Lastly,...

  • Availability of Lift Kit for Exiss Living Quarter Horse Trailer
    Hi Scott; we might have an option but it depends on your axles. If you have standard leaf spring axles with the springs running under the axles you could flip them to raise the trailer. If you have a 2-3/8" diameter axle you can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 and for a 3" diameter the # K71-385-00. If you have torsion axles you will need to identify them before finding the right kit. The best way to do this is to check your axle tag. If it is a Dexter...

    I would be happy to! There are a couple of options to lift your trailer depending on if your axle's sit above or below the leaf springs.

  • Replacement Brakes and Hub/Drums For a 2007 Airstream Safari Trailer With 5,000LB Dexter Axles
    Thank you for the images. This shows me you currently have the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-105-106 on your 2007 Airstream Safari. I recommend upgrading to the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-458-459 as this will give you a more consistent brake feel as the shoes wear. It also eliminates the need to adjust the brakes every 3,000 miles. If your hubs are worn beyond their serviceable limit then you will need to replace them. We have 2 possible hub/drum assemblies...

If you don't have Torflex axles and have a standard axle you could use an axle flip kit which will raise the trailer by the height of the axle plus the leaf spring stack. For a 2-3/8" diameter axle you need # K71-384-00 and for a 3" axle # K71-385-00. If you have something else entirely please let me know...
