For your Dura-Flex 4,300 lb axle, we don't have a confirmed fit lift. If you axle mounting holes are 8 inches on center you can use # K71-707-01 to gain a 2-5/8 inch lift. This is rated for Dexter Torflex Axles up to 4,000 lbs capacity, so the weight capacity with your axle if the mounting holes fit may be limited with this lift.
