On an over/under conversion kit such as # K71-384-00 the leaf spring stack will be moved above the axle. Depending on how that shock is attached it would either have to be removed, relocated, or replaced with a shorter shock in order to work properly with an over/under conversion kit.

If you plan to relocate the shock you will need to find a qualified welder to do this. Same goes for the installation of the # K71-384-00.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
