I have a replacement option for you, but I do not know why Heartland put the Lippert Standard Replacement Shock - Black # LC283271 on your 2015 Heartland Bighorn 3270RS 5th wheel trailer with a 15500lb GVWR. These shocks are only designed for 3500lb axles.
You will want to replace them with the Lippert Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock # LC283280 which are rated for axles up to 7000lbs and will do a much better job on your trailer. This shock is only 1" longer so you will not have any fitment issues.
I included a video of the # LC283280 for you to take a look at.
