Expert Reply:
The Lippert Components Shock # LC283271 is a replacement part. Although it works well, if you don't have the mounting hardware already, this shock alone will do you no good.
Instead what you want is a whole shock kit. Since you have 3,500 lb axles, which are typically 2-3/8" round, you will need the kit # LC281255. This includes the shocks and the mounting hardware. This kit has a weight capacity right at the 3,500 lb mark.
