Correct Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for 2003 Outback 25RSS

Question:

Hello, Im interested in adding shocks to my trailer. Its a 2003 outback 25rss. And it has the springs under the axle. Will the roadmaster 2540 fit good on my trailer?

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers will work for both overslung and underslung axles so the location of your leaf springs won't matter. These shocks will be a great addition to your trailer and help improve your ride. You will, however, need to find your axle capacity.

I was unable to find the axle capacity or GVWR of your trailer but based on the dry weight you probably have 3,500 lb axles. The # RM-2460 is designed for 5,200-7,000 lb axles with a 3" diameter. If you have 2-3/8" diameter 3,500 lb axles then you will need the # RM-2450 instead. Make sure to verify this information in order to choose the correct shocks. You could either look on the axle tag or measure the diameter if you can't identify the axle with the tag.

I have attached an installation video for your reference.
