Rough pavement doesn’t have to mean a rough ride. The Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit uses heavy-duty gas shocks to absorb road shock and vibration so the trailer stays steady and the ride feels smooth. Each shock helps manage axle spring movement so gear stays put and the trailer tracks better behind you.
This kit is made for leaf spring suspension systems with 3,500-lb overslung axles. The included tie plates and U-bolts replace your existing hardware to give the shocks a secure mount on 2-3/8" round axles. It’s a smart way to add true shock absorption to a standard trailer setup.
Everything needed for installation comes in the box. The upper brackets mount directly to the trailer frame using the included self-tapping screws, while the shocks attach to the tie plates below. It’s a straightforward bolt-on job that doesn’t require welding or special tools.
The shocks and brackets have an enamel finish that resists corrosion from rain, salt, and road grime. The durable coating helps your suspension parts stay protected and working smoothly after miles of use.
Each shock measures 13-1/2" when extended and 8-5/8" when compressed, giving plenty of movement for typical trailer travel. A minimum of 4" clearance between the inside of the tire and the I-beam flange ensures the shocks operate freely. A 90-day warranty covers the complete kit.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, I'm gonna take a look at the Lippert Bolt-On Shock kit with the heavy duty gas shocks for thirty-five hundred pound axles. Now this will instantly improve your ride with the suspension upgrade kit. It uses these heavy duty gas shocks to absorb any road shock and vibration and provide a more comfortable towing experience. Does include all the pieces here laid out on the table. Has the two upper mounting brackets, the two lower mounting tie plates, the four U-bolts with the installation hardware, the two gas shocks with the mounting hardware for the shocks.
Now this is a very easy bolt-on installation. These included tie plates and U-bolts will replace your existing hardware. The upper brackets right here is what will mount on your trailer frame with the included self-tapping screws and the shocks will attach to the tie plates on the bottom and to the upper brackets to help dampen movement of your axle. They do have a nice enamel finish to resist corrosion. A few specs on this, the application.
This is for a leaf spring suspension system on a two-and-three eighths-inch diameter, thirty-five hundred pound overslung axle. Now the minimum clearance between the inside of the tire and the I-beam flange is four inches. The shock length when it's fully extended is 13-and-a-half inches and when it's fully compressed is eight-and-five eighths inches. But that should do it for the review on this Lippert Bolt-on Shock kit with the heavy duty gas shocks for a thirty-five hundred pound axle..

Sorry to hear that, Peter. Can I ask why it isn't fitting? We do hear this every now and then, but almost never get to hear why.

Doing good still, pulled camper from Amarillo Texas thru Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama on our way to Disney world, then back they Alabama, Tennessee, and Arkansas for vacation last year. We put about 4000 miles on the camper and shocks still doing what they are supposed to do, controlling the role.
