Correct Lift Kit for 2017 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB

Question

Question:

wanted to make sure i was ordering the correct lift kit for my trailer. it is an airstream flying cloud 23FB. Ive seen conflicting info on which axle I have. picture of the label is below. i read on your site that #11 axles typically have a 4100-6000 pound rating. mine reads 3500 pounds but is similar to another question on your site which stated a #11. any clarification would be appreciated. thank you.

Thank you for providing that picture. It is true that your typical #11 Torflex axle has a capacity of 4,100-6,000 lbs. However, your axle is in fact a #11 Torflex despite the 3,500 lb capacity. This was confirmed by Dexter. The correct lift kit for your 2017 Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB is the # K71-724-02.

It sounds like the 6K might be referring to 6,000 pounds although I cannot be 100 percent sure on that. I could tell you for sure if you could tell me the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped in to the bearings. A 7K axle will use inner bearing…

The lift kit you need is the Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle - 2-7/8" Lift #K71-724-02 which only comes in a set for two axles. Unfortunately we don't sell a single axle lift kit for that specific axle and the mounting hole locations are…

Yes, the Torflex Lift Kit #K71-724-02 is compatible with your #11 Torflex axle. The note about the 3" high profile bracket is corresponding to the brackets on the axle and not the Trailer Hanger #DX57FR. Your brackets appear to be 3-3/4"…
