The Dexter Torflex Lift Kits like the Tandem Axle 2-5/8 Inch Lift # K71-707-02 referenced in your question are designed for use with particular Torflex axles. For example, this Lift Kit is compatible with #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000 pound capacities.
I was not able to confirm the type of axle that is on your 2012 Airstream International, so I recommend verifying the axle type to ensure that this kit will work.
Also available are the Dexter Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 for #11 Torflex axles with 4,100 to 6,000 pound capacities and Lift Kit # K71-725-02 for #12 Torflex axles with 5,500 to 7,000 pound capacities.
If you have standard round axles on your trailer and not the Torflex, another option for lifting your trailer is the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 for 3 inch axles or # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8 inch axles. These will allow you to move the trailer leaf springs to the top of the axle.
I have attached a couple of video demonstrations of these systems for you to check out.
