The Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # RR23QX will allow you to lift your 2016 Keystone Laredo with tandem axles by 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". If you still need additional height you may be able to increase your tire size.

Bronze bushings like the #D014-077-00 do not require reaming when installing a shackle bolt into them. The splines in the bolt might make it a little tight but that is on purpose and does not require enlarging.
