Lift Kit and Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Setup for 2018 Rockwood Signature Ultralite

Question:

My 2018 32’ Rockwood Signature Ultralite, 9930lb GVWR with 5000lb Dexter #11 Torflex axles electric drums needs a 3 inch lift to level it out to connect to my new 2022 Silverado 3500HD 4WD CC LB SRW. The least expensive/quick option is to install the Dexter lift kit. Are there other suspension options to gain the 3 inches of lift I need and give me EOH brakes? Are my Dexter Torsion axles compatible with EOH brakes?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Since you have Dexter number 11 axles on your 2018 Rockwood Signature Ultralite the correct and only lift kit solution is the Dexter lift part # K71-724-02 that you referenced which will give you a lift of 2-7/8 inches. Your axles are compatible with EOH brakes too.

I am not sure if you are looking to convert from an electric drum brake to a hydraulic disc brake or from a hydraulic drum brake to a hydraulic disc brake but I will provide my recommendations for each option below.
