The Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs # K71-653-00 will work on your 2021 Shockwave toy hauler that has a 33-3/4 inch spacing depending on what size their current equalizers are

The kit has a bronze finish that resists corrosion. It has a strong steel construction that ensures durability. This kit will work with tandem-axle trailers with 1-3/4 inch wide double-eye leaf springs.

I attached an installation video link below.

If the equalizer dimensions are pretty close to the dimensions of the E-Z Flex Equalizers #K71-655-00 that you referenced and less than 8,000 lbs axle capacity then the equalizer will fit and work well. It would be a direct replacement.

What you are experiencing is common on tandem axle trailers when little or no weight is on them. The weight compresses the suspension and would not allow this to happen, or at least not as easily. If you were to use the E-Z Flex Equalizers…

As the Dexter #K71-657-00 is rated for 35 inches of axle spacing, I do not suggest using it. However, we do have a MORryde system that will work with your spacing. The MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers for Triple Axle Trailers w/ 33"…
