The correct Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers for a trailer with tandem 4,400 lb axles is part # LC279687. However, you might also want to change out the shackle straps with a longer version to make up the difference. I recommend going with the next size up from the list below. For example, if you have 2-1/4" or 2-1/2" long shackle straps then replace these with 2-3/4" long shackle straps part # TRSL275. It doesn't have to be exact in regards to compensating for the shorter equalizers but the closer you are the better off you will be.
