How to Pick Out Torflex Lift Kit for Trailer Based on Torflex Number and Capacity

Question:

Im wondering if the torflex 3 1/8inch lift kit will work with my trailer. It is a 2017 Quicksilver 7x20 dual axle, made by Livin Lite. The existing rim size is 15x5 with a 5 lug 4.5inch pattern with 20575r15 tires My plan is to lift the trailer and then switch to 15x6 rims so I can put 22575r15 tires on it for a little more clearance. Can you tell me if this kit will work for my application and if not, which one will? Many Thanks -

The Torflex Lift Kit part # K71-725-02 that you referenced is designed to give a trailer with number 12 Torflex tandem axles with a capacity of between 5.5 and 7k capacity a 3-1/8 inch lift. If that's what your trailer has then this will work for you.

In case you have a different axle setup we have the part # K71-707-02 which is for number 10 torflex axles that are rated between 2,300 and 4,000 lbs, the part # K71-723-01 which is for 9 Torflex axles with a 2,000-lb capacity and # K71-724-02 which is for number 11 axles that are rated 4,100-6,000 lbs.
