The purpose of shocks is to keep your wheels in contact with the road to maintain control. Why would you need them on a trailer?
For that same reason. Resulting in better control, smoother ride(better for the trailer and it's contents),Less unusual wear on the tires, longer tire life, and much less of the "perception" of sway, the trailer should "dance" less on rough roads and interstate expansion joints. Lastly the trailer should impart much less movement back into the tow vehicle. I could go on there are many very good reasons to have shocks on trailers and almost every Australian and European manufacturer puts them on as standard equipment as our manufacturers should do.
