Hey Bill,
Most likely the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 would affect the fitment of your shocks. I wasn't able to see a picture of the suspension but I'm assuming they probably mount to the axle tie-plate and frame? The conversion kit is going to place the axle further from the frame so the shock's connection to the axle would likely have to be altered. If you want to send me some pictures of your suspension I'd be happy to take a look.
