The Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers item # RM-2460-2580 are not designed to raise or lower your trailer's ride height. You may see a slight height increase because there won't be as much strain on the springs. The older your springs and current suspension are the more they sag so if they are significantly past needing replacement your trailer may be taller.

I have linked a review video below.
