Hey John,

We really have 2 shock absorber kits for trailers available. We have the Lippert kit for 3,500lb over slung axles # LC281255, and the Lippert kit for 5,200-7,000lb over slung axles # LC281281. These are universal so they are not confirmed by year make and model of trailer but the most important thing is to make sure you have a minimum of 4" of clearance between the inside of the tire and the I-beam flange in order to correctly install these.

What are you looking to add these shock absorbers for?

Hi again Nick, looking to control rear sway and bounce. I broke a leaf spring on the last trip.

@JohnS The shock absorbers are definitely going to improve the ride and sway for you so I think they would be a good option to go with. How often are you getting out to tow?

@NickSw we get out 4 to 5 times a season. Usually 1 long trip and the others are 1 to 2 weeks long

@JohnS That is more than most, lately I have been about once a month even if it is just a weekend trip.
