The Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-5/8" Lift item # K71-707-02 are compatible with #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000 lbs capacities. You can verify this kit will fit your Double D horse trailer with 2 Dexter 3500 pound Torflex axles if you still have an axle tag on one of your 2 axles or by measuring the bolt hole spread where the axle mounts to the frame. There should be 8" from bolt hole center to bolt hole center. I have attached a diagram I made below along with an installation video.
