Misnomer...loll...

OKAY, then redefining is what you want?

They (Shocks) are either or both of Shock absorbers or Oscillation dampers.
They are STILL NOT SPRINGS or LOAD-BEARING devices.

Therefore...

Install or order springs for the load and shocks for the bounce.

DO NOT ORDER AIR-SHOCKS to counter improper loading of trailer. ( as you had
so casually suggested )
