Hello Phil,
We definitely have shock absorbers for your 2018 Northwood Arctic Fox Travel Trailer, but I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what trailer. In my research I am seeing that it has (2) 5,200 pound axles, which makes sense since your GVWR is 10K.
In that case you will want the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axle # RM-2460. After you get these installed and take it out for your first trip you will be amazed on the difference it will make as they will eliminate a lot of the bouncing, and even help with sway.
I attached an install video that Dave did for you to check out as well.
Getting things all geared up for an upcoming trip? If so, where are you headed?
