Question:

I have a 31foot tandem axle travel trailer, I would assume it has 3inch axles, would that be most likely for that size trailer house? My springs are below the axles, with the plate below the springs, the instructions show the springs on top of the axles, will this kit still work on my trailer?

Expert Reply:

3 inch axles are fairly common, but there is a very wide range of axle diameters available so before you order anything you will need to measure the diameter of the axles to be sure.

The Lippert shock kit part # LC281281 can be used on trailers with axles above the springs, it will just be a matter of orientating the shock mount so that it doesn't interfere with the axle as the suspension compresses and extends.

If instead you have 2-3/8 inch axles you would want the part # LC281255.
