I have a lift kit option for you, but there is not a shock kit currently made for torsion axles.

For the #10 toflex axle in your 2017 Casita 17 we have the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-01 if you have tandem axles or # K71-707-02. Each of these kits will lift your trailer by 2-5/8". Keep in mind neither of the kits mentioned will work if your axle has 3" high profile mounting brackets.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

Answer 12

A #9 Torflex axle is rated for 1,000 - 2,200 lbs so since your Lance 1575 weighs well over 2,200 lbs dry I'm confident you have a #10 Torflex axle (which can be rated for 2,300 - 4,000 lbs). With that in mind, since you have a single axle trailer…
