The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers like part # RM-2450 for example come with upper brackets which are deigned to mount directly to the frame rail just before the center leaf spring hanger. The issues you are going to run into trying to use them with the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade part # LC1565391 is that the extra airbags and brackets on this equalizer are going to make the physical size of it much lager which could then interfere with where you need to place the upper brackets. The best chance you have to make this work would be to install the shocks as the smallest angle possible, 20 degrees which you can see in the attached photo.

However, there would be really no way to know for sure until you have all the parts in hand and are able to test fit them on the trailer. With that being said, the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade will best your best option for overall ride quality improvement and it wouldn't really require anything further. It might be worthwhile to try them out before you add the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers.
