Hey Jp, welcome back! Since your trailer has 7,000 lbs underslung axles, you'll want the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket item # SS33HR. This kit is rated for 5,000 lbs - 8,000 lbs axles so it's going to provide way better support than the item # TSS-106-40, you were looking at.

The SumoSprings item # SS33HR are going to work great for reducing trailer sway, absorbing road shock, and they'll also help with that body roll top heavy feeling. These kits are sold individually so you will need two.

Please note you will need 7-7/16" - 8-5/8" between the top of your leaf spring plates and the bottom of your trailer's frame for the SumoSprings item # SS33HR to function correctly.

What kind of trailer do you have?

28’ Freedom Enclosed trailer. Looks like I have about 7-1/4” of space between top leaf and bottom of frame rail when trailer is lifted and 6” at ride height. Is there another option I should look in to?

@Jp Thanks for those measurements! For 6" of clearance at ride height you'll want to go back to the original SumoSprings item # TSS-106-40. I don't have any similar systems for an underslung axle with that little of clearance. My only other option would be the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Add-On Kit item # RM-2460-50. These are designed as an add on to the triple axle Comfort Ride kits but can and are used to add shocks to tandem axle trailer's with 3" diameter 5,200 lbs - 7,000 lbs axles.
