Hello Geno, thanks for reaching out. According to my math a 4" lift would be plenty to accommodate that increase in tire size. That being said, the correct lift kit, and the amount of lift will depend on what axle you have?
For example, the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01 is for Torflex axles with capacities between 2,300 and 4,000 lbs. It provides 2-5/8" of lift. The distance between the bolt holes is 8" on center. Please check the bolt hole spacing on your axle and confirm this is a match. If not, just let me know your bolt spacing and I am happy to look into it and see if we have anything.
Keep in mind that typically you want at least 3" of space between the tire and the fender, and at least 1" between the inside of the tire and the frame of the trailer.
