The Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-02 is designed for #10 Torflex axles that have a capacity of between 2300-lbs and 4000-lbs; if this is the axle that came on your 1975 Airsteam Souvenir then you can use this on your trailer. We do not have a database that tells us what axles are on trailers, but you can check your axle for the spec sticker that will likely have some identifying information. If you find that you've got something other than a Torflex #10, just let me know what you find, as well as the capacity of the axle and I can help you locate a lift kit that will work.

If you've got a round axle without a spec sticker, you'll want to use a digital calipers like the # PTW80157 to determine the diameter, which can help us figure out the capacity. If you've got a diamond shaped axle, it would likely be a torsion axle of some type.
