The Torflex Lift Kit # K71-725-02 that you referenced is designed to fit side mounted Dexter TorFlex axles with capacities between 5,500-7,000-lb. I don't have the ability to look up whether your trailer has this style of axle but if you check the axle you should see a sticker or plate with this info listed.

If you find out you have something different let me know and I can see what the best lift option would be.

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…
