Lift Kit that Fits 2018 27FBT Airstream

Question

Question:

Hello. I have a 2018 27FBT Airstream. The tag on the axle says 410980-02. I do not know if it is a 10 or 11 axle. I would like to get a lift kit for it. Which kit do I need? Please Scott Martin

Hey Scott, the 410980-02 axle is a Dexter #10 axle, so for the tandem axles on your 2018 Airstream 27FB, the correct lift kit is the Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle # K71-707-02 that you referenced. Does your Airstream sit pretty low? We've had this almost exact question before a few times from people with the 27FB.

Thanks Jameson. Yes. It sits very low. Scraps when going into gas stations etc.
