Welcome back Geoff! To add a set of shocks to your trailer, I recommend the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers item # RM-2450. These are heavy-duty nitrogen filled shock absorbers that prevent a trailer from bouncing on rough roads. They'll work with axles mounted above or below your trailer's leaf springs.

The Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers item # RM-2450 come with everything you need to get them installed on a tandem axle trailer. The upper shock mounts attach directly to the trailer frame and then the lower shock mounts attach to the included u-bolt tie plate.

What kind of travel trailer do you have?

I added these shocks to my 4600 lb 22 foot tandem axle travel trailer last year. They work really well— no bouncing. The trailer travels extremely well with these shocks. I installed them myself with little difficulty.
