Appreciate that information, and the 410980-02 axle is a Dexter #10 axle, so for the tandem axles on your 2016 Airstream International, the correct lift kit is the following:

- Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle # K71-707-02

The # K71-707-02 will give your Airstream a 2-5/8" lift, and you will not need to change out the shocks. This is a pretty common thing for Airstream owners to do and there is no issue with the shocks not fitting so you're all set with just the lift kit.
