Look under the trailer at the suspension of it. As long as you see leaf springs you can use the Correct Track Tandem Axle Lift Kit part # RR23QX to give you a lift of 2-1/4 inches.

If you see a torsion axle setup instead I would need you to get me the axle brand and capacity off of it to see if we have a torsion lift kit for it.
