Shock Kit Recommendation for Open Range 3X 375RDS to Smooth Out Ride Quality
Question:
I have an Open Range 3X 375RDS 5th wheel trailer and there is a 2inch metal box welded to the bottom of the frame at the axles. Will there be any issues in mounting the Roadmaster Shocks to the trailer? Brown stuff in pic is insulation foam in the 2box.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Based on the brackets you have near the suspension of your Open Range 3X 375RDS 5th wheel trailer your best option for a shock kit will be a Lippert kit that doesn't take up as much space as the Roadmaster kit you referenced.
For that you'd want the # LC281255 for if your trailer has 3,500 lb axles that are 2-3/8 inch in diameter or the part # LC281281 which fits axle diameters of 3 inch like what are found on 5,200 to 7,000 lb axles.
Also thanks for clarifying what the brown foam was. I as somewhat confused on that at first glance.
