Well mine is quite different. Last year it had its stock Rear axle a 22.7K leaf spring rear axle. According to fors with a spring rate of 4000 lbsPER INCH
And no shocks either.

When I bought the trailer The previous owner towed it with his 1/2 ton truck.
He told me it towed it best (Stability) when the hitch ball dropped 2 inches from its unloaded height as he loaded it.
On my truck Not matter the load it has Never dropped more than 1/4 inch.
I can NOT honestly feel it back there. There certainly is no po-go effect.

I now have a 20K Air ride Rear axle and suspension and of course it has shocks as well.
Haven't drove it with the trailer, But it is better already.
