Question:

I am looking for a lift kit for a 2016 Airstream International also would like to know what shocks I would need if I need to change those out. 410980-02 Dexter Axle

Appreciate that information, and the 410980-02 axle is a Dexter #10 axle, so for the tandem axles on your 2016 Airstream International, the correct lift kit is the following:

- Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle # K71-707-02

The # K71-707-02 will give your Airstream a 2-5/8" lift, and you will not need to change out the shocks. This is a pretty common thing for Airstream owners to do and there is no issue with the shocks not fitting so you're all set with just the lift kit.

I have a 2016 airstream 23 ft with dexter axles #410980-09. Will the lift kit mentioned in above thread work for me as well? K71-707-02 is part you told them to use.

@Harry Hello Harry, I see that the Dexter axle #410980-09 is a Dexter Torflex #10 torsion axle rated for 3K. The Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-02 is the right kit for you. Any big trips coming up in your Airstream? If so, where are you headed?
