Added the new axles and picked up over 3 inches of lift over the frozen up old ones.

    Word of Caution - check the aligment. I installed new axles and ground a new tire down in about 2500 miles. I just had them aligned. Toe in before alignment: +9/16", +5/8", +1/2", +5/8". All were brought to +1/16". These were new hub to hub Henshen units. Since you are showing a bare chassis in your photo, and alignment can be easily accomplished. A complete Airstream requires that the tanks be removed to allow access for the hydraulic bender used in the process.
