Compatibility of Roadmaster Comfort Ride System With U-Bolt Kit for 7,000 lb Axles

Question

Question:

I am purchasing a shock absorber kit for a Grand Design Solitude fifth wheeler RM-2460. The item number APUBR-9 in question is the u-bolts... If I purchase the 9/16inch diameter by 7-1/6inch long for the 3inch diameter 7K pound capacity, will it fit on the plates for the kit RM-2460?
