3in lift for a Raptor 375

Has anyone in here done a lift on their toy hauler? I live in Western CO and I just don't have enough clearance to drive most of the roads on the Flat Tops, the Uncompahgre, Maroon Bells, San Juans or the Grand Mesa.
My unit is a 2015 Raptor 375TS tandem 7,000lb axles.
What kit(s) have you used?
Thank you in advance.

First thing I would check is your height. The Raptor is typically around 13’+. Do you have clearance to lift it 3” without going over 13’6”?

Also, I know 3” doesn’t sound like much, but I just think you’d end up with a very top heavy rv

For a rig your size, you'd want to go with a welded box frame. I'm sure there is a welding shop/fabricator in GJ that has experience doing exactly what you're asking for.
I've seen some toy haulers raised way more than 3" in order to ride level behinded lifted trucks. IMHO kits would be too lite for this type of job.
A box frame is welded to your existing frame after removing the axles, then the axles are attached to the box.
