Hey Marvin,

I confirmed with Dexter that the axle you're referencing is a Dexter #11 Torflex Axle. So, the Torflex Lift Kit # DX56CR is the right fit! It also comes with all the hardware you'll need for install.

I installed to give more ground clearance when turning into some driveways and campsites. The 22' caravel has the tank dump on the rear. It got really close to the ground when turning into a campsite. The 2 7/8" lift gives more insurance on not dragging that off. Couldn't tell any difference in towing after installing. IE, tows the same after the lift kit.

@Stan that's awesome, Stan! I'm glad there was no difference in towing after the install. Where have you taken your trailer since you installed the lift kit?

@JoshB Well just various camp sites around N Georgia. We have since traded the 22'caravel for a 28' international. I installed a lift kit on it also. Extra ground clearance is worth it.

@Stan I love that area. I lived in Duluth near Atlanta for a while, you have some nice weather to play with traveling around to different campsites. Let me know if you need anything, I'd love to help. Happy camping!

I put the lift kit on an Airstream 2012 Bambi Sport to get more ground clearence for sewr clean out, which had very little ground clearence. The kit went in relatively easy, holes all lined up, no drilling. You'd think Airstream would build these with more clearence, but they don't. It's worth the piece of mind knowing you have more clearence.

@Gerard thanks for that insight! I'm happy the install was smooth and simple. Has it made a noticeable difference while you're towing or at campsites?
