Thank you for the images. This shows me you currently have the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-105-106 on your 2007 Airstream Safari. I recommend upgrading to the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-458-459 as this will give you a more consistent brake feel as the shoes wear. It also eliminates the need to adjust the brakes every 3,000 miles. If your hubs are worn beyond their serviceable limit then you will need to replace them. We have 2 possible hub/drum assemblies depending on which size grease seal your trailer uses. You will need to measure this or check your seal itself for dimensions. If the inside diameter is 2.125" you will need Hub/Drum # 8-201-9UC3-EZ otherwise a 2.25" seal will use the Hub/Drum # K08-201-9B.
The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 should be the lift kit you need for your axles. You will want to verify your mounting bolt holes are 9-1/2" on center and the Mounting Brackets # DX57FR for the axles are not 3" tall
