Hello Andres, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we should have a lift kit for that but ill need you to check and confirm exactly what axle is on your trailer, since there isn't a way for me to look that up online. Depending on what you have, there are a few potential options.
If your axle is a 2-3/8" diameter round tube and has the leaf spring back positioned beneath the axle, you can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This lets you move the spring pack to the top of the axle, and it lifts the trailer 3-3/8" plus the height of the spring pack.
Another option is the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # LC87120. This installs with no drilling and works on any double-eye leaf spring setup. It raises the trailer by 1-1/4", or you can get two kits and do 2-1/4" of lift.
Your trailer has a double-eye leaf spring setup, correct? What is the diameter of the axle tube? About how much lift are you needing?

Yes the Correct track would raise it 1” or 2-1/4 as stated. It also corrects alignment if needed. Within 1/8 inch. Mine was 3/4” off and was able to get it dead on. Not difficult to do at all. I did have to trim the end of the spacers off about 3/16” though.”Wouldn’t fit between my hangers”. I installed on my 5th wheel dual axle. Hope this helps. Edgar
