Gil, when you get your info, post away. Glad to help.
The shocks, yes they can be a challenge but well worth it. My long camper was literately "whipping in the wind" after a bump even with the rubber equalizer. I would look in the rear view truck mirror and see about 6 to 7 oscillations of the entire trailer flexing along the length. Not good long term flexing everything like that.
Now after the shocks, there is the bump and 1 oscillation an that it it.

I think I've got the shock install scoped out and it looks like it will be relatively straightforward. I have a set of Monroe RB511 lower mounts but they won't fit on the new TT. Can't get the needed RB512 ones but am going to get a set made up. Pretty simple. I've already got Monroe shocks too.
Our TT was bouncing a lot at the rear. I could see the tail bobbing up and down like a duck water. Went from 800 lb to 1200 lb spring bars (had to) and that seemed to calm it down somewhat.
