Hello Todd, thanks for getting in touch. The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 is exactly what you need. This was made specifically for the #11 Torflex torsion axles with 5,200 lb capacity. Looks like you already have one on order so you should be good to go. Feel free to come back anytime you need anything

Hey Mark. The Torflex Lift Kit #DX56CR is specifically for Dexter #11 Torflex axles and would not be compatible with your Lippert Axle. I'm pretty sure at this point Lippert dropped all of their lift kits for torsion axles but if you can send me…

Hello Scott. The Torflex Lift Kit #DX56CR is the correct kit for a 5,000 lb torsion axle. So as long as the axles on your 2015 Airstream Fling Cloud Bambi square torsion axles, and not round tube leaf spring axles, the #DX56CR kit will work great.

The way to determine if you have a top mounted or side mounted Torflex axle is by checking to see whether or not the axle is bolted to the frame via the side or the top. I've included some diagrams that show the differences between a side and top…
