Got them on mine.

I would install them if you don't have them.

Monroe has a kit that make things a little easier.

I'm going to try these too:http://dexteraxle.com/e_z_flex_suspension

Even easier!

A trailer supplier should be able to hook you up.

Measure the distance between the mounts before you call.

I was thinking about adding those Monroes. I think they'd help keep the thinks in my cabinets from getting tossed around.

My buddy had coil-overs on a custom 2-axle jet ski trailer he built in his garage. It had 4-wheel independent suspension. He worked for WestCoast performance back in the day, and would carry about 10 skis on his trailer, along with a bunch of race gear.

That trailer was sweet. You could cruise right over rail crossings and not even feel the trailer back there.

I had shocks on my 35' Cedar Creek, it seemed to pull very good and nothing bounced around inside. It sure didn't hurt having them on.
