Question:
What is the correct lift kit for the 20foot single axle Airstream Its max weight is 5,000 lbs?
asked by: Thomas J
Expert Reply:
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.
