There are a couple different ways you could go about this, but for me, your best solution is upgrading to the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2560 which is designed for tandem axle trailers with 3" diameter axles. This is a complete kit that will upgrade not only your existing 1-3/4" wide leaf springs but will add heavy duty shock absorbers to your 2020 Forest River Cherokee Arctic Wolf 271RK to help reduce the transfer of vibration to the axles and create a much smoother ride with less chucking, porpoising by up to 50%.

You will want to make sure that your axles are spaced between 33-1/2 inches axle center to axle center, up to 36 inches on center; this is in order to accommodate the 27" long leaf springs.

I've attached a review video that shows how adding only the shocks to your system improves the performance of your trailer suspension. This is one of the best suspension upgrades you can add to your new Forest River Cherokee.
