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 )

I'd call them motion dampers. The motion doesn't have to be oscillatory
in nature.

I much prefer the more technical term "bump stopping thingies".

Geez - you'd think a complex formula could be summed up in an
approximate two-word name for something!! At least my attempt uses
three words - 1/3 again as much ability to define complex equations.

There has been no mention of the "Torsion Bars" being used on the
trailer. These must be adjusted to the proper level.

Another point is, We would never pull a trailer heavier than the tow
vehicle. Bob
