Lift Kit For Dexter #11 Torflex Axles on Airstream Tandem Axle Trailer

Question

Question:

I just want to confirm which kit would be for my 2000 1725 foot flying cloud Airstream. I would like to do a 3 inch lift. The tag on my axles says DEX 1589710 SN 121117759 3800 lbs. I read somewhere that airstream uses larger axles and then degrades them? Not sure but figured you might know what kit I need

Thanks so much for the photo that was super helpful, and what the axle tag shows is that you have a #11 Dexter Torflex axle. We do have the correct lift kit for you, which is the following part:

- Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle # K71-724-02

This kit will fit your axles, and will provide your Airstream with a 2-7/8 inch lift, which is just about the 3 inches you were looking for.
