Question:

I have an aluminum ATC Trailer I want to lift. It has torsion axles but I don't know if its a #11 or #12 GVWR 9990 LB. GAWR each Axle 5200lb. Its a 2014 model trailer and has 6 lug wheels. All the trailer specs say is 2 EZ-Lube with Brakes, 5200 lb 78-94 22.5 deg Down.

Based on your information, it sounds like you have #11 Torflex axles. If this is correct then I recommend the Torflex Lift Kit, Item # K71-724-02, that works with #11 Torflex axles with 4,100-lb to 6,000-lb capacities.

If you have round axles then another option for lifting your trailer is an over-under conversion kit that will move the leaf trailer springs to the top of the axle. For a 3 inch axle, you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, Item # K71-385-00, and for a 2-3/8 inch axle, you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, Item # K71-384-00.

I have attached a video review of this kit for you to check out.
