We do have a lift kit for your Lippert 7K torsion axle but the Dexter Torflex Lift Kits like part # K71-725-02 are designed to fit specific Dexter torsion axles. For example, the above mentioned kit will only fit a #12 Torflex axle that has a 5,500 - 7,000 lb weight capacity.

The correct lift kit for you is part # LC270682 if you have a diamond torsion axle or part # LC382741 if you have a square torsion axle. These provide you with a 3-1/2" lift and are for single axle applications and are rated for 3,500 lbs. Since you have a 7K trailer this means you have 2 torsion axles rated for 3,500 lbs. I reached out to my contact at Lippert who said you can simply used 2 of these kits for your application.

I have a 2021 Sundowner Trailblazer toy hauler with Lippert square axles #V000609372. I am wanting to raise the trailer and see you offer lift kits. Do you offer a kit for my application, or one that can be modified to fit? I have read that the Dexter Axle lift kit will work buy redrilling axle holes. OFRCboy

@Ofrcboy For a square Lippert axle you would need the LC382741 kit, but this was discontinued a while ago so you might need to go with the Dexter Axle kit if you have a way to modify it to fit.

@Paul Unfortunately, Lippert discontinued their lift kits for their torsion axles so your best bet will be to have a local trailer shop or RV dealer try to help fabricate something for you.

What is the cost for part # LC270682? Why can't I search it on your site? Thanks

@Ken The LC270682 kit was discontinued back towards the end of 2023 which is why you aren't able to find it on our site anymore. You might be able to find some rogue one out in the wild somewhere, but odds are you'll need to have a shop help you fabricate your own riser kit for your trailer.

From what I read, it sounds like I have a diamond axle, but the shape is square. Is the diamond one also square in shape? Part 20141311000 Variant V000314163 The other question thread, where someone had the exact same axle, said that the correct lift kit is LC270682 (which is discontinued). But it also referred to it as "diamond," Hence my shape question. If that is the correct part, does anyone else make a lift kit for it?

@John Technically the "diamond" axle is a square - it's just turned a little so one of the corners are pointing towards the trailer frame instead of a flat point. The lift kit for the diamond version is discontinued, and the only way to get one is to have a shop fabricate one for you. It's really frustrating when companies discontinue a part that was a solution for a lot of people, but sometimes that's just unfortunately how things work out sometimes.

@JonG do you know if there was a specific reason they discontinued these loft kits? Failure issues etc? Thanks in advance!

@BrianW From my understanding the diamond axle just isn't as common so they didn't see as much of a demand for it. When we had it online we ended up having 153 reviews that were all 5-star so people were pretty happy with it.
