We do have a lift kit for your Lippert 7K torsion axle but the Dexter Torflex Lift Kits like part # K71-725-02 are designed to fit specific Dexter torsion axles. For example, the above mentioned kit will only fit a #12 Torflex axle that has a 5,500 - 7,000 lb weight capacity.
The correct lift kit for you is part # LC270682 if you have a diamond torsion axle or part # LC382741 if you have a square torsion axle. These provide you with a 3-1/2" lift and are for single axle applications and are rated for 3,500 lbs. Since you have a 7K trailer this means you have 2 torsion axles rated for 3,500 lbs. I reached out to my contact at Lippert who said you can simply used 2 of these kits for your application.
