Shock Kit for Travel Trailer
Question:
Thanks for the reply Kyle. I notice these are kits, do you have just the shocks available. It is a dual axel with the mounts already welded to the frame.

We do carry shocks for trailers that could work for your 2003 Kit Road Ranger.
I was unable to locate a reference to the product number you mentioned but I recommend taking a look at the Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kits, and the right one for you will depend on your axle.
Shock Kit # LC281255 is for leaf spring suspension systems with 3,500-lb (2-3/8") axles and Shock Kit LC281281 is for leaf spring suspension systems with 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") axles. The shocks on these kits have an extended length of 13-1/2" and compressed length of 8-5/8".
Without knowing more about your trailer it's hard to recommend other upgrades, but if your Road Ranger is a tandem axle setup, your axles have a capacity between 3,000 lbs and 6,000 lbs, and you have standard double eye springs, the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279687 are a great option. These are cushioned equalizers that will give you a smoother ride and reduce the amount of back-and-forth movement you might experience with cast equalizers.
