Trouble is, I have seen shocks that snapped off because they couldn't handle the pressure, so the restraining chains are still not a bad idea.

Exactly is right! the shocks were the problem. the new one's did the trick. while unloading, I watched & the chains did not have to hold the air bags from over stretching. the ride is much better too. when hitting dips & uneven pavement going down the hywy, the trailer does not give that ship on the sea's motion as it used to. a noticeable difference there too. thanks for the info.
