Many years ago - ok, many MANY years ago - I sold auto parts for a living. The Monroe and Gabriel shock absorber catalogs both showed aftermarket kits for fitting shock absorbers to leaf spring type trailer suspensions. Apparently, none of the factories consider them necessary and most - all? - trailers don't seem to come with them. Not sure what's up with that.
It was about eight years ago that Monroe threw in the towel, I guess low sales was the reason. I believe you can still get the shocks if you can find the part number. Dexter and others still sell shock kits. Higher priced RVs like Outdoors RV have shocks installed.
So what's up with that? Simply cost, the consumer sees no value in things they don't see, so shocks are just one more place to cheap out.
