Lifting a 1983 Airstream Excella Tandem Axle Trailer With #11 Torflex Axles
Question:
I have an 1983 Airstream Excella 31foot tandem axle. I bought the Dexter K71-724-02 #11 Lift Kit. I just figured out that I believe I have axles with the high profile brackets - however they are not 3inch high - probably closer to 1 inch - but not sure that makes a difference? Is there another lift kit that is made for these axles? I have attached pics to confirm if I do have the high profile brackets as well.

Expert Reply:
I do not even see that they used any type of mounting bracket for your Torflex axles. Instead it appears they cut out the frame around the axles and added some steel where needed. We do have the Torflex # 11 Brackets # DX57FR which you can weld to your frame for each axle and then you will be able to use the Lift Kit # K71-724-02 you have. This may require some additional modification to your frame .
