Installing rv shocks

I am looking at installing shocks on my 5th wheel. Do you think both axles or only one of them? Where is the best place to get a kit from? I saw one in a magazine but can't remenber the brand.
  • My 5er came with 4 shocks...last year when I upgraded the spring packs, also replaced all 4 shocks with Monroe severe duty shocks...Don't know about the "negatives"...just know the unit came with shocks and I upgraded the spring packs, shocks and equaflex centering unit with trailair. Rides very smooth and I have nothing to compare with my unit NOT having shocks on it.
  • Check with lippert components directly. Are your sure the mounts are not already there?
  • Trailer Life mag I believe. Lots of variables involved. The rewards are somewhat questionable.
