It sounds like you have a #11 Torflex axle on your tandem axle horse trailer.

If that's the case, you can use the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02.

This lift kit is designed to be used with #11 tandem Torflex axles that have a 4,100-6,000-lb capacity, and will provide 2-7/8" of lift for your trailer.
