If the bolt holes on your torsion axles side mounted brackets are 8" apart on center then you are going to want to use the Torflex Lift Kit part # K71-707-01 for single axle trailers or part # K71-707-02 for tandem axle trailers. As long as you do not have 3" high profile brackets these will be an excellent option for you.
