Hi there, trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at Dexter's Torflex Lift Kit. These are compatible with Dexter's Torflex Axles. This truck lift kit is going to work with your Dexter Axles and your trailer to raise your trailer up. This is going to help level out your trailer. If your truck sits too high, leaving the front end of your trailer jacked up and the back of your trailer down when you're hauling your trailer, this could lead to scraping at the back of your trailer due to the angle, angling it down.
And by leveling out our trailer, it also helps to load the tongue weight properly on our truck. So this is overall just going to increase the driving experience that we're going to feel when hauling our trailer.Our customer had an issue with his truck being too high for his trailer, causing it to haul unlevel. After we got done installing the components here, we can see that our trailer is completely level all the way down, which is going to increase the driving experience inside of our truck just due to the way our trailer is going to handle. The weight's going to be properly distributed onto the back of our truck, which is going to allow us to get proper braking and handling performance at the front. Our customer also has a weight distribution system on here as well to help even out that weight.
All these components are going to work together just to give you the smoothest and best handling performance when driving your truck down the road when hauling your trailer.Other issues some trailers can run into, particularly if they have the swing out arm styles for their support system, is that in certain areas, depending on how level the ground is where you're at and if there's any rough terrain, some of those arms may hit the ground when you're trying to swing them out and then you can't level properly. You have to move it around and adjust until you can find that sweet spot. Lifting the trailer up a couple of inches is going to give you that clearance that you're going to need, so you can more easily get set up and ready to go at your campsite.And this is what our lift kit looks like when it's installed. I've got the wheels off so that you can see the spacers in place here between our axle and the frame. That's where it goes.
Going to give us greater clearance to the ground, so when we're hauling our trailer, we don't have to worry about as much issues with scraping on the ground, particularly if we have leveling jacks and things like that that are hanging down below. And in some cases, depending on your campsite where you park it, you may be so low to the ground in that particular spot that you can't even use your landing gear properly to level out your trailer because they just don't quite meet where they need to.By lifting it up, we get more room to work with on our landing gear so we can get those legs swung out and everything set up properly. And it can also help out with getting it properly set up with your truck. If your truck's lifted up higher than your trailer, then you can haul it uneven. And you want to try to haul it as even as possible to have the proper load and tongue weight on your truck's hitch at the back.
So something like this is going to lift it up and provide that for you. And you can see it comes with all the hardware that we need, brand new hardware for attaching both our axle to our bracket, as well as attaching our bracket to our trailer.One thing you'll want to keep in mind when performing this installation is that you are increasing the distance between your axle and your trailer here by about this much. And depending on your brakes that you have installed, whether they are electric or hydraulic, you may need to extend the wires or the hydraulic lines in order for this system to work properly with your trailer. On the one that we installed today, we did have to add a few inches to the wiring in order to lower it down and be able to have proper travel of our suspension without damaging the wires that go to our electric brakes. And when it comes to the installation, it's considerably easier than many other style of lift kits for different style of suspension.With this style here, with the TorkLift Axles, it's as simple as lifting your trailer up to where it hangs off the ground. You want to give yourself a considerable gap between the ground and your tires when you got it up to ensure that once you get your kit installed, you can get your wheels back on if you did take those off. I would recommend at least four inches between that when lifting it up. But once you got it lifted up, it's as simple as placing your jack underneath, lowering down one side, installing the spacer, and then moving onto the next one. I'd recommend finishing up this axle, doing the other side, and then moving on to your next one. And that completes our look at the Torflex Lift Kit.
