I would be more than happy to take a look at any pictures you have but I've got a faster way to find out what lifting blocks you need. If you're going to crawl under your Airstream to take some pics, I recommend taking a tape measure with you and seeing what the distance is from the center of the bolt to the center of the other bolt where the axle connects to the frame.

The Tandem Axle - 3-1/8" Lift item # K71-725-02, you were looking at fits # 12 toflex axles. Which means the top axle mounting holes will need to be spaced 9" apart on center and the frame mounting holes will need to be spaced 9-1/2" apart on center for this kit to fit your Airstream trailer.

I have attached a picture below of one of these lifting blocks installed that will show you wear to measure.

If you don't come up with frame mounting holes 9" on center please get back to me with what distance you do get so I can find you the correct part. You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them. If you would like to email me some pictures you can send them directly to the address you receive this response from.
