Hello Bryan, thanks for reaching out. The correct shock kit will depend on the weight capacity of your axles. There is not a great way for me to look this up online, but there should be a sticker on your trailer axle that shows the weight capacity. If not, you could measure the diameter of the axle.
For example, if your trailer has two 3,500 lb axles, you can use the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit # LC281255. This is for 3,500 lb rates 2-3/8" diameter axles which are standard.
If this is not what you have just let me know and I am happy to look into it and make sure you get the right kit.
