For your Dexter 5,000 lb Torflex torsion axles the lift kit that will work - so long as your axles are side-mounted #11 Torflex axles - is the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02. Though this kit is meant for tandem axles - there aren't kits available designed for three axles - it will work for your trailer if it had a trio of #11 Torflex axles; you would just need to order two of them in order to get the needed parts for your trailer.
