Expert Reply:

You can only use the Bolt-On Shock Kit # LC281281 if you also use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 (which fits 3" round axles) to put the axle back underneath your springs.

Keep in mind this will lower the height of your trailer back to what it was before your axle was on top of the springs.

With the axle above the springs there would be interference with the shock.
