Scott, I wish I had a way to look up the parts for your 2018 Nitro Boat trailer but unfortunately the parts breakdowns are not available to the public. I image where you are getting caught up is the 31" wheel spacing. This is a measurement you really do not have to concern yourself with. Instead you will want to measure the height and width of the bolt hole centers on your equalizer as well as the length of the shackle straps on center. I see you were looking at the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit # K71-359-00 which may be exactly what you need. The equalizer has the shackle mounting holes spread 5-3/4" on center with the center of the holes 2" below the mounting bolt. The shackle straps in this kit are 2-1/4" on center for their mounting holes.

If your mounting holes are more than 1/2" different from the dimensions I gave you please let me know what they all are and I can help you find the exact parts you need. I say within 1/2" as there is some play with suspension parts on a tandem axle trailer that will still allow the suspension to continue to function correctly even with the small differences.
