Expert Reply:

I have a solution for you to raise your axles. Unfortunately, I could not find any specs of your axles on your 2016 Airstream Flying Cloud travel trailer. However, if you have double-eye leaf springs installed on your trailer, I recommend an over-under conversion kit like the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 (for 3-inch axles) or # K71-384-00 (for 2-3/8 inch axles). In order to determine which kit you need, I recommend measuring the thickness of your axles.

If you have slipper-spring axles, I recommend replacing your axle hangers and equalizer to add the 3-inch lift. For this route, I recommend the Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 3" Slipper Springs # HAP-203-02. In order to get a complete kit, you also need the # HAP-103-00. This kit includes front and rear hangers as well as mounting hardware.

However, it is important to note that you must consider the current height of your hangers to know exactly how much lift you will receive from the recommended components. I recommend measuring your current hangers in order to make sure you know what height addition you need to make a 3-inch lift.
