The Lippert bolt on shock kits will definitely help with bounce and will smooth out the ride. These are specifically designed to enhance the factory leaf springs when they are not pulling their weight. That being said, with a 7,000 pound, 3 inch axle, you will need to go with the Lippert # LC281281. Please keep in mind that these are for a single axle, so you would need to purchase one set per axle.
