Dimensions Needed to Determine if Lippert Axle Shock Kit Will Fit Trailer

Question:

i am unableto zoom in on the drawings you have attachedto the various QA. I need to know some distances. Dont have part in hand so unsure what dimension i need. I am guessing the main one is the distance from my leaf spring to my structure beam? Any clearances I need tobe concerned about?

I have spoken to the techs at Lippert and what they are informing me is that these shock kits are aftermarket installs that can be equipped to MOST units.

However, not all units may be able to accommodate these shock kits. The measurements we will need if you are looking to install a shock kit is the measurement from the center of the spring by the spring seat to where the shock mount would be bolted/welded on the diagonal side. The shock for the 3in axle tube mount kit has a compressed length of 8.625" and an extended length of 13.5". If the measurement doesn't fall within this distance then the shock mount kit may not work on the unit.
