Hey Jacob, thanks for reaching out. The best way to lift your car hauler will be with an axle lift kit, but the correct lift kit will completely depend on what kind of axles you have.
The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-02 you were looking at is intended for tandem axle trailers with torsion axles rated between 2,300 and 4,000 lbs and with bolt holes spaces 8" apart on center. The # K71-707-02 kit provides 2-5/8" of lift.
If your trailer has round tube leaf spring axles, we have the Correct Track lift kits for those. You can use the # RR23QX kit for 1-1/4" of lift, or the # RR55QX for 2-1/4" of lift. These are basically brackets that bolt on and extend your spring hangers, so they can be used with any leaf spring axle regardless of weight capacity.
Does your trailer have torsion axles, or are they leaf spring axles?

I installed the torflex kit for tandem axles on my 2018 Lance travel trailer that would bottom out on driveways etc, I was surprised how much 2-5/8" lift difference made on my trailer, no more bottoming out since the install, fairly easy install if you have the right jack stands, I would recommend having the axles aligned afterward not sure this is necessary but afterward I have no uneven tire wear.
