There really are no drawbacks to adding a shock kit to your 2018 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 220RK. I do like them as they will smooth out the ride and actually help with sway issues as well. There are a few options to choose from and though they are more expensive, I do prefer the Roadmaster options. These have a Lifetime Warranty and come as tandem axle kits as well. I was unable to find the capacity of the axles on your camper, so I do have all three options listed below.

Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 3,500-lb Axle # RM-2450
Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb Axle # RM-2460
Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 8,000-lb Axle # RM-2470

Answer 1

To upgrade the suspension bolts of your trailer to the greasible style you really just have to replace the bolts with wet bolts like the #34007-187-00. If you need nuts as well then you'd want the #1137306 as well.

The Locknut needed is 7/16 X 20 like the #006-092-01. This is a fit for the Replacement Shackle Link with Bolts for Dexter Trailer Suspension Kits #018-026-05 because the bolt tapers from 9/16 inches down to that 7/16 inches that is threaded.
