My VanLeigh 5th Wheel comes equipped with 8,000 lb axles. Is there a set of the Roadmaster shocks that will fit my rig?

Expert Reply:

You will want the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 8,000-lb Axle # RM-2470. This kit is specifically designed for that tandem axles of that capacity.

If you want the entire upgrade kit then use the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks - Tandem 8K, 3-1/2" Axles # RM-2470-2580 is what you'd need. This has the shocks as well as the custom leaf spring system to reduce bounce, chucking, and porpoising of the trailer while increasing traction while braking by up to 70 percent.
