While we don't have a way of knowing the axle spacing or wheelbase of the 3,500 lb axles on your Jayco White Hawk trailer, I can tell you how to find out, and it's super easy. What you can do is measure from the center of one axle to the center of the other, or from the center of one wheel to the center of the other wheel.
Once you know that you can find the right suspension upgrade kit, with the best being from MORryde. Their rubber equalizers not only absorb road shock to cushion the suspension, they also give 3 inches of travel, so it's going to be a much smoother, more enjoyable ride. Here is what you'll need, based on the measurements:
- 33 Inch Wheelbase: MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR87ZR
- 35 Inch Wheelbase: MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR27ZR
- 42 Inch Wheelbase: MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers # MR54AR
Then for upgraded suspension hardware to install the equalizers, you'll want to choose the kit with the shackle straps that are closest to the length of your current straps, either the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers - 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR46ZR or 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR76ZR.
