Lift Kit for 2002 Starcraft Travelstar Trailer

Question

Question:

Good afternoon, I have a 2002 Starcraft Travelstar trailer with a duel axle, rated at 4990 GVR, and I have the Dexter torsion axles, with each axle a #9 axle with H spindles and rated at 2500 pounds. I want to add the torsion 2-5/8 lift kit, K71-723-01. But I wanted to make sure it is compatible. Would this be compatible or is there a different kit that would work? Thanks!

Since you have a #9 Torflex axle on your 2002 Starcraft Travelstar trailer the lift kit you'd need is the part # K71-723-01. Since this is a single axle lift kit you'd need a quantity of 2 since you have a tandem axle trailer.
