Expert Reply:

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 will provide 2-7/8 inches of lift.

For the Dexter 12 axle the recommend lift kit will be # K71-725-02 for tandem axles rated 5.5K to 7K lbs. This kit will provide 3-1/8 inched of lift.
