I could not find one so I am driving to Airstream Nuts & Bolt’s shop in AL. He comes highly recommended from several people I know & trust on this forum. He’s been great to talk to and I’m looking forward to getting the lift done Saturday. He’s a two hour drive from Smyrna.

Riveting Rosie the 33 Got her new high Heels!

So just got back from Airstream Nut & Bolts, and can't say enough good things about Ronnie and his dad, they did an awesome job and something that took them 3 hrs would have taken me 3 days....well worth the trip!
if you can get on his schedule, I highly recommend them.
Riveting Rosie looks awesome up on her high heels and it towed perfect back to Atlanta.
Annabella, thanks for the recommendation!

OK, just wondering how folks with the 2021 33 Classics are finding and getting the 3" lift kits installed?

Sent the usual inquiry with pictures of labels on the axles to Dexter and got the usual reply:

Lift kits are not available for these due to the unique brackets they use.

I know of at least two individuals on the forums that have had it done. I want to get it for our 2021 33 Classic for additional clearance on the rear bumper.

I tried contacting one of the well known installers twice, but have not had any response. I think that the factory is doing this install, but am not positive.

Any recommendations for a qualified installer will be greatly appreciated. I would assume that these individuals have created a modified bracket to successfully do the install.

We're currently in Yuma, and will be here through mid-February, 2022.

Regards,
Ron

The 33’ units have #11 axles and the number “#11 kit” is the one needed for the install.
Part # K71-724-02

I’ve have installed lifts on several 33’s as noted above.

If it was me you tried to contact, sorry we’ve been traveling for the last 3 months are are now back home again.

Ron -

I highly recommend Ronnie for your lift. Super nice person who does a great job. I’ve traveled many miles on mine with zero issues.
