Which Lippert Shock Kit Will Fit A 2020 Dutchmen Coleman Lantern LT 17B Travel Trailer

Question:

I would like to confirm that the Lippert Bolt on Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shock 5200 - 7000 lb 3 overslung axle, part number LC281281 will fit a 2020 Coleman Lantern 17B travel trailer.

The Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks # LC281281 is designed to work with 3" diameter axles. With how small your 2020 Coleman Lantern LT 17B travel trailer is you most likely have a lower capacity axle, which is most likely 2-3/8" in diameter. If this is the case then you'll just need part # LC281255 instead to get the correct mounting hardware.

I recommend getting under your trailer and looking for the axle tag, which will give you the capacity, or measuring the diameter of the axle using a caliper # PTW80157.
