Hey Steven, from what I was able to determine from some research, the 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB does have a #11 Torflex axle on it, so the Dexter # K71-724-02 is the correct lift kit for your trailer. This is a 2-7/8 inch lift kit. Why are you wanting to lift your camper?

One of my Dexter axle S/N is 121144188. Please confirm that is a #11. Why lift? I live in Alaska where roads are rough and frost heaves are a constant concern. I plan to drive the ALCAN Hwy starting a 10k mile Southbound Snow Bird trip in August. Thank you for the assistance.

@SteveB I sent the SN to Dexter just now and will let you know what they say. On that same sticker where there is the SN the axle type is often listed as well. In meantime (if you have access to the axle) you might check that label again to see if you see anything.

Any updates? I do not have access to the axle.

@Steve I did hear back. You have a Torflex # 11 axle. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. The way our system are setup right now I had no way to easily get back to this page. I had been trying for several days. Not your problem though but I wanted you to know I was trying to get back to you.

Additionally: My axles are rated at 3800 lbs capacity. Reading the reviews for the part number you advised I found a review dated 12/29/23 from Brian that stated this did not fit his 2018 Airstream Flying Cloud 27FB. The response said this part number is for axles with a 4100 lb and up capacity. Please advise on correct part number.
