Hi Ronald; a search points to that being a 7k axle but I don't have a way to be sure without the serial number off of the axle tag. You can also measure your axle diameter which is enough to find the right kit. If you have a 3" diameter overslung axle (leaf springs on top of the axle) the # LC281281 is the correct kit. If it is a 2-3/8" overslung axle you need # LC281255 instead.

If your leaf springs run under the axle the only option is the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers. These are higher quality shocks with better performance overall so it is worth considering them over the Lippert even if you have overslung axles. If your axle has a diameter of 2-3/8" you need # RM-2450 and for a 3" axle # RM-2460.

Is this for your Tritoon trailer or do you have something else now?

@Ronald if it is a 7k axle it is safe to say it has a 3" diameter so the # LC281281 if it is overslung will work, or # RM-2460 for overslung and underslung axle configurations.
