Not a problem at all, torsion axles have an easy peasy riser kit with multiple height lift options depending on the axle.

2-5/8" Lift # K71-723-01 (designed for use on #9 Torflex axles with 2,000lb capacity)

2-5/8" Lift # K71-707-02 (designed for use on #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000-lb capacities)

2-7/8" Lift # K71-724-02 (designed for use on #11 Torflex axles with 4,100-6,000-lb capacities)

3-1/8" Lift # K71-725-02 (designed for use on #12 Torflex axles with 5,500-7,000-lb capacities)

Since you have a triple axle trailer you'll have to buy multiple kits to get the correct amount of risers.
