Without having your 2019 Grand Design Solitude 334GK here for me to ensure if it will fit I want you to refer to the instructions link that I have attached below. The Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit # LC281281 has a large plate that will need to attach to the frame on your Solitude and with it having the large opposing slides you will need to ensure if your frame will have the clearance necessary listed to work on your Solitude. You will also need to have 4" of clearance minimum between the tire and frame rail on your camper for the shock too locate properly.

If you are unable to utilize the Lippert kit the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # SS26MV will also act as a shock absorber to cushion the ride as well as increase stability by providing additional support. This kit will also bolt in place on your Solitude with no drilling required.
