The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-02 may be exactly what you need for your Winnebago Micro Minnie 1706FB with tandem torsion axles but we do not have any database of axles and I was unable to find the specific axles on your trailer in my research.

This lift kit will require that your Minnie have Tandem #10 Torflex axles, which is a possibility because #10 Torflex axles will have capacities between 2,300 lbs and 4,000 lbs. The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-02 will also work with tandem axles that have two mounting holes spaced 8" apart so you can either check the sticker (which should be directly on the axle) and that can tell you what axle you have, measure the mounting holes, or call the trailer manufacturer with your VIN and they can tell you the axle manufacturer and specific axles you have.

I have added a link to a video review of the lift kit for you to take a look at.
