For your 2008 Keystone Raptor 3110 Travel Trailer I recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers - Triple 7K Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2570-3. This leaf spring suspension kit prevents shock transfer between axles, increasing traction while braking by as much as 70 percent. Heavy-duty shocks reduce bouncing, chucking and porpoising of your trailer up to 50 percent. Fits 3" axles.

The slipper leaf springs will replace your existing leaf springs and the center hanger boxes will replace the standard equalizers you have now. The heavy-duty gas shocks will absorb road vibration for a smooth, comfortable towing experience.

The nitrogen-charged shock absorbers help to eliminate trailer bouncing, chucking, and limit up-and-down motion of the trailer on both compression and rebound. It will also help to control trailer sway by limiting lateral movement.

I recommend double checking the capacity of your axles (there will be a tag on the axles stating this information) to ensure this is the correct kit. If not you can also check the diameter of the axles. If you do not have 7k 3" diameter axles let me know and I can find the correct kit for your application.
