It sounds like you are looking for trailer suspension like the Lippert Bolt-On Shocks # LC281255.
The Lippert Bolt-On shocks # LC281255 will fit 2-3/8 inch axle tubes or # LC281281 will fit 3 inch tubes.
These kits will improve your ride with our complete shock mounting kits. Shocks help to efficiently manage axle spring movement to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride.
I have linked both products to this page for your viewing and purchasing convenience.
