You would be fine to use the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # K71-449-00 that you referenced which has shackle straps that are 1-1/4 inch shorter than what you have now. The ride height of the trailer would lower slightly but the suspension would still work great overall without any issue.
