I recommend installing the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers # RM-2450 with your tandem axle trailer. You will simply need to use the U-Bolt plates included with the Roadmaster kit versus the ones included in the Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. The shock kit will include 4 shocks, 2 for each axle. This will help to ensure the suspension is even on the trailer and does not cause the equalizer to not function correctly.
