The trailer is a Palomino Solaire 147x. Installation was straightforward. The lift in combination with taller wheels and tires accomplished the desired ride height.
by: Chris F06/09/2024
Spacers came quick. Just what I needed for my Dexter #10 Axles on my 2021 Rockwood Mini Lite2509S.
Time consuming for a DIY but worth it! Gave me the clearance I needed.
by: Dale12/18/2022
Can you believe that etrailer asks for reviews after a year? That's confidence in their products! The Torflex Life Kit for my 2014 Casita 17 Deluxe Independence has worked great. I no longer drag going through dips and up my steep driveway.
by: Travis05/30/2020
This kit was extremely easy to install. Great color directions came with it. On our 2019 E-Pro 19BH travel trailer it was as simple as remove 4 factory bolts (2 per side), lower the axle a bit, place lift block, & install 4 new bolts per side. With this kit, new wheels, & tires we were able to gain 4 inches of lift for our camper. Our waste holding tank drain pipe & valves were so close to the ground & we constantly would drag pulling into or out of areas. This gives us great peace of mind & our camper looks amazing to us now.
by: Randy04/07/2024
Ver good! Only problem I had was mounting bolts were bigger than holes in my trailer and took a little doing to make larger.
by: Dan 05/13/2024
The lift kit was easy to install and gave me the height I was looking for. Delivered in a timely manner.
by: Rob09/24/2020
Installed this kit on a 2017 Airstream Sport 16. We boondock a lot and the ground clearance was a problem. The 3" lift was a perfect solution to even out the ride height and give extra clearance in the back. The instructions are clear and I was able to do the entire project alone in just over 2 hours. The metal spacer fits precisely on to top of the axle, no adjustments were needed. I used 2 jack stands, 2 floor jacks, and an air gun which is a must or it would take twice as long. One of the jacks was used to hold the axle and to lift it up after the spacer is fitted. The lift kit is very good quality (besides the paint) and I feel confident it will last. Easy with the right tools!

Been across the country and back, no handling issues whatsoever, can’t tell the difference from stock. It’s a keeper

Perfect fit - added the extra clearance needed. Before and after photos attached.
Also went from 14"to 15"wheels.

Parts fit perfectly, very happy will how my trailer looks now.

Does not fit on Lance 1575 trailer
by: John 10/11/2023
Easy install with all the hardware I needed. I provided a flat surface to do the work, jack stands and jacks, socket set and torque wrench.
by: John04/13/2020
I installed the K71-707-01 lift on a 2017 Airstream Basecamp. It took a little over an hour with help from a friend. The minimal paint chipping on the lift blocks was easily remedied with black spray paint in 30 seconds. Hardly something to worry about. The key to install is having a short socket for the bolts as little room exists between brake drums and other parts of the assembly. A pair of vice grip pliers is also very helpful in holding the opposing side of the bolt from spinning while tightening/torking the nut in place. Lastly, be sure that you have two wooden blocks to set the loosened axel on after detaching. If you set the blocks 3” below the axel while jacked off the ground, the lift blocks slide in place perfectly. Super easy and inexpensive modifications.
by: Chris Z08/14/2019
Have a dexter#10 on my 16’ Casita deluxe model. Fit just as it should, paint on brackets was already chipped but..who really cares. Not a chance they’re powder coated, looks like spray paint. Highly recommend backing whatever trailer you’re putting these on, up onto wood blocks or bricks to achieve the height of the lift first, that way you only need to lift the trailer high enough to get the blocks out and you’re ready to install. Also I used a square underneath the trailer to mark alignment points for after the lift was installed to insure the axle was indeed aligned with the trailer. This lift kit was cheaper than an 8” drop hitch for my truck, highly recommend it!!
by: G. Hardman06/15/2018
Was a retrofit for my 2018 Forest River Flagstaff A-Frame Model 21TBHW. Dexter #10 Torflex axel No drilling or welding but tires do need to be off for the lift bracket install. Instructions provided are well written & clear. You will need jack stands and a good torque wrench to complete the install correctly. No issues with brake cables being short. If you can or have rotated your own tires this should not be a problem for you. Bolts have to be torqued and even with a great torque wrench and a 3 foot pull arm you are in a tight spot so if you can't bench press 150+ you need to get a battery or air impact torque driver. Hope this helps. I am very happy with the install and got about 3.5" of lift easy to see in the photos.
by: Larry04/26/2021
Quick easy install. Took about 2 hours to do both sides.
Having an impact wrench make it easier, but it can be done with hand tools.
One photo shows the lift kit installed. And the second shows to wheels not tucked up in the wheel well. (sorry I have no before photo)
by: Michael07/12/2023
The lift kit is installed and works fine. It is installed on a 17 foot Casita Liberty WITH the shock absorber kit. The DEXTER people gave me 8 nuts that did not fit the bolts supplied. I HAD TO go to ACE hardware for 8 correct nuts at $x.xx each. I called etrailer and Odelia K was wonderful and has refunded me the full cost of the correct nuts. etrailer rocks. For the install, pulling on a torque wrench to get xxx lbs is no easy task while under the trailer. Instructions from Dexter were fine. Follow them and you will be happy with the result.
by: Michelle11/30/2020
Kit was just what I needed. Was able to install it myself, the only difficult part was getting the trailer completely off the ground and placing solid jack stands. Otherwise super easy install with regular tools. Gained about 2 1/2 inches on clearance.
by: Dale.T07/11/2017
Lift kit was used on Jayco X17Z Camper, as I wanted to do more rural camping and gain better ground clearance, as this camper is very low in the first place.
Product was great and everything fitted nicely with no issues, see pictures. The only issue I had was with the nuts and bolts, they were quite tight on the threads, certainly won't come undone.
by: John07/14/2019
179SE riverside Retro:
Simple installation and good quality.
Arrived in good time and took an afternoon to install by myself. Lifted the trailer up as I go a lot of places off road. Takes away a bit from the retro look as the old trailers were pretty low to the ground but the benefit of ground clearance makes up for that. Strongly suggest this if you go off road as it brings sewer drain up which is the low point of the trailer.
by: Sid P05/19/2019
Worked just as they said it would. Only took a few hours with hand tools. If I were doing this more than once I'd have an impact wrench instead of a ratchet. So far I have never had a bad experience with etrailer. Ordered on phone Wed, received it on Friday. What more could I ask. The trailer axle had been replaced by previous owner and the tire rubbed the fender. etrailer walked me through on who to contact and determine which Dexter spacer I needed. Great sales reps and thanks Paula
by: Buck09/22/2019
Package arrived quickly and tracking communication was great. The install took a couple of hours and was easy due to the great instructions. I will agree with another review in saying you better have some upper body strength if you are using a torque wrench. 130-150 ft lbs takes some effort. The parts fit perfect and gave me the lift I needed.
by: Tom R04/02/2024

Perfect fit! Thank you!
by: Eric06/22/2020
super easy install, perfect fit. I was done in less than an hour. added a bunch of ground clearance to my first generation R Pod. I plan on adding some bigger tires to get a little more, but this kit was simple and did the job.
by: Shane05/11/2021
Customer service on this order was exceptional right from the start. Received the right product, in a quick timeline, (with free shipping!) to add a lift kit in our 2019 GeoPro Camper. Product install was super easy and did it right in my driveway. Will definitely do business here again!!!!

- Recommended Lift Kit for Dexter TorFlex Torsion Axles with 3,500 lb CapacityThe Torflex axles have different axle capacities. For capacities between 2,200 lbs and 4,000 lbs you will have #10 Torflex axles. The mounting hardware witll be 8 inches on center so you will use lift kit # K71-707-01. Dexter doesn't give a number or location to help you it is all based on the measurements and capacities. If your axles were 2,000 lb, then they'd be #9 If they were between 5,500 and 7,000 lbs they'd be #12.

I have attached a couple of pictures below so you can see how they look once installed. I have also linked an installation video we did on the Tandem Axle # 10 kit item # K71-707-02 so you can see the installation process. Hopefully this clears up any confusion.

- Torsion Axle Lift Kit for 3,500 lb AxleWithout knowing any specifics about the axle it isn't possible to guarantee a fit for a torsion axle on a trailer with a 3,450 lb GVWR. The Axle Riser Kit - Single Square Torsion Axle # LC382741 is only designed to fit 3500 Series axles and can be fit whether the axle is a side-mount or top-mount. The other possibility is you have a Dexter #10 Torflex axle, and for that you would need the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01 as those axles have 2,300 to 4,000-lb capacities. These are compatible...
view full answer... - Can I Upgrade To 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Hubs On My 2018 Forest River Flagstaff E-Pro E14FK?Though you will not need to make any alterations to the axle to up your bolt pattern to a 5 on 4-1/2, but you will need to verify your bearings to make sure the new hubs will fit properly. Form what I could find, your 2018 Forest River Flagstaff E-Pro E14FK has a GVWR of 2,917 pounds. This means you most likely have a 3,500 pound Dexter axle. The typical Dexter axle of this capacity will use the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing. Again, you will need to verify these bearings,...
view full answer... - How to Choose Torflex Lift Kit for 2015 Retro Riverside Trailer In order to choose the correct Torflex Lift Kit for your 2015 Retro Riverside Trailer, you will need to determine the type of axle that it has. We have a couple of single axle lift kits currently available from Torflex. If you have a #9 Torflex axle with a 2,000 pound capacity, you will use the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-723-01, which will provide 2-5/8 inches of additional clearance. If you have a #10 Torflex Axle for axles with 2,300 to 4,000 pound capacities, you will instead use # K71-707-01,...

From what I could find on your 2015 Lance 1575 it looks like you have a #10 Torflex axle which means you need part # K71-707-01. This will give you a lift of 2-5/8 inches.
view full answer... - What Lift Kit Do I Need For A Lance 1575 With #10 Torflex AxleYour Lance 1575 came with torsion axles and it requires the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift, part # K71-707-01. This lift kit works with axles rated to carry between 2,300 and 4,000lbs. It will will provide 2 5/8" of lift between your trailer's frame and axle. If will not work if your Torflex axle has 3" high profile brackets. I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

There isn't a taller version of this lift available. If you have a different brand axle let me know and I'll see if we have anything that would work.
view full answer... - Lift Kit that Could be Used with Number 10 Dexter Torflex AxleIf you can verify that your 1964 Airstream Tradewind has Dexter number 10 Torflex axles then yes the number 10 lift kit part # K71-707-01 would work for you. If you have something different on your trailer and you heard this lift kit happens to work with it we wouldn't really be able to verify that. Especially due to age of your trailer.

For example, if you have the Dexter Torflex axles, your lift kit will depend on your axle's rating. If your R-Pod has the #10 Torflex axle, you can use the Torflex Lift Kit - Single Axle - 2-5/8" Lift, part # K71-707-01. It is rated for axles between 2,300 and 4,000 lbs. You can find your axle's information on the axle itself. Once I have this information I can help you find the correct lift kit. I...
view full answer... - Recommended Lift Kit for Leveling 5th Wheel Trailer When Pin Box and Hitch Adjustments are Maxed OutIt is definitely not recommended to drill a hole in your pin box to add another set of rows. The height of your pin box and hitch will be adjustable to an extent and then you will need to adjust the axles for further leveling. My recommendation is to use an over-under conversion kit like the Dexter # K71-385-00 for 3 inch diameter axles or # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8 inch diameter axles. These conversion kits will raise your trailer at the axles by the diameter of the axle plus the height...

view full answer... - Will Torflex Lift Kit for #10 Torflex Axle Allow Larger TiresThanks for the purchase of the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01, and to determine if you can add a 15 inch tire, I recommend waiting to install the lift kit first so you can take a measurement. The reason why is, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3 inches of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender, and 1 inch of clearance from the tire to the inside of the frame. And a 15 inch tire will be bigger in diameter as well as wider, so you'll want to measure to see if you have...

If you have a standard axle that is 2-3/8 inch in diameter the part # K71-384-00 would be the correct over under kit needed to lift the trailer.

Based on my research, your 2017 Winnie Drop does not have a Torflex axle installed, but I recommend verifying this on your particular trailer. This Lift Kit is compatible with #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000 pound capacities.

The exact amount of lift depends on the axle diameter and the height of the leaf spring stack. Lift will be the sum of the axle diameter plus the height of the spring stack. Kit # K71-385-00 works for axles with 3-inch diameter Installing an axle over-under lift kit on a trailer is not a complex job but it does require the right safety equipment to avoid risk...

- Lift Kit Availability for Dexter Torflex Axle on R-Pod R-177If you are referring to a lift kit then we have 2 different options for you to choose from if you have a Dexter Torflex axle. If you have a #9 Torflex axle with a 2,000 lb capacity then you want part # K71-723-01. Should you have a #10 Torflex axle with a 2,300 lb - 4,000 lb capacity then you will want part # K71-707-01 instead. Either of these kits will give you a 2-5/8" lift on your 2017 R-Pod R-177.
