Question:

Hi would you be able to tell me which lift kit I need for my small Airstream? I searched the QandAs but nothing for this size Airstream. Thank you.

I did some research on your 2021 Airstream Caravel 16RB, and I unfortunately could not confirm what type of axles you have installed on your trailer. For example, if you have a Torflex # 9 axle with 2k capacity, you will use the lift kit # K71-723-01. If you have a Torflex # 10 with 2,300 - 4,000 k capacity, you would use the # K71-707-01. Although, it is important to note that these are not compatible with top-mount torsion axles.

Another way of lifting your trailer is with an over-under kit, which moves your leaf springs from the bottom of the axle to the top to give you additional lift. These kits are for double-eye leaf springs only. For example, if you have a 2-3/8 inch axle you will use the # K71-384-00. If, on the other hand, you have 3-inch round axles, that would be the # K71-385-00.

If you happen to have the axel tag, feel free to send that to me in a response to this answer.

I've linked review videos of all of these components for you to take a look at.
