Yes, the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers part # RM-2460 will fit your trailer with 5,200 lb axles and a 33" wheelbase. The 5,200 lbs axles you have should be 3" diameter which is why this kit will work for you. I was able to speak with a representative at Roadmaster to confirm this.

Hey Vernon, so I like the SRE4000 kit part #MR67ZR over the CRE3000 as it has better cushioning with more travel. The 3000 has 3 inch of travel whereas the 4000 has 4 so it's going to give you a nicer ride quality.
