I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. We have a few lift kits available and it will just depend on exactly what kind of axles you have on your camper. The Lift kit # K71-725-02 that you were looking at will #12 Torflex axles with 5,500-7,000-lb capacities.

I did look up some specs on your camper. I was not able to confirm exactly what axles they put on there, but looking at the GVW and CCC you may have a slightly smaller axle than a 5,500 lb. If this is the case we have the lift kit # K71-707-02 which will fit #10 Torflex axles with 2,300 to 4,000-lb capacities and will give you 2-5/8" of lift.

Each axle should have a tag on the beam which tells you the specs. Also you could always contact a Forest River dealership with you VIN and they should be able to tell you the weight capacity of each axle.
