For the Lippert Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit for 3" Axle Tubes referenced in your question, part # LC281281, the minimum clearance needed from the inside of the tire to the I-beam flange on your trailer's frame (which is needed to install the upper mounting bracket) is 4 inches. This kit will work great for your 2008 Cougar Fifth Wheel as long as it has the required clearance and has 3 inch axles. You will want to install them on each axle.

For 2-3/8 inch axle tubes, you can use # LC281255.

I have included an image of the installation instructions as well as a video review for you to check out.
