William, I checked what we have and I was able to find the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks # LC281281 which will work with 5,200 lb to 7,000 lb axles, and has has an easy bolt on install.

We also have the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFEF350 for the front and # TFERSD for the rear, which have a 3,000 lb capacity for the front, and 5,600 lb for the rear for a combined total of 8,600 lbs of support.
