Hey Thomas, most likely the correct lift kit you need for your single axle Airstream is the part # DX56CR as this fits Dexter Torflex axles that have a 4,100 to 6,000 lb capacity like your trailer should have.

I would recommend making sure your trailer does have a Dexter branded Torflex torsion axle on your trailer though to be sure but from previous customers this does appear to be what you'd have. Either way let us know what you have and if this will work for you.

Hey Thomas, did you have a chance to check if your trailer has a Dexter Torflex torsion axle? I'm eager to know if the lift kit worked for you, as it could help others with similar trailers.

@JamesonC I traded my trailer in for a newer one and had the dealer install lift. I’m not sure which axle they used but my guess is that it’s a Dexter.
