I haven't heard any reports on that brand of "trailer shock kit" but there are a couple of competitors with good reports. I'd suspect that they all are fairly similar, so unless this brand is a "Chinese knockoff with poor quality" it'll probably be similar in reliability.
There are several things you might want to do before installing shocks. I've had them on several "luxury trailers" and they do work, but aren't as effective unless you also do these things:
First, always be sure your tires are inflated to the maximum sidewall pressure rating.
Second, have your tires/wheels balanced.
Third, consider (if it's not standard equipment) installing a wet bolt kit.
Often times, these three things will eliminate the excessive "bounce" and you'll find no need to install shocks. Also, realize that you're going to get some bounce even with shocks. Further, shocks won't stop the "side to side sway" that's inherent with tow vehicle steering corrections, so you're still going to occasionally find some things in the trailer "displaced" or even "thrown from cupboards" even with the best shocks available.
As far as "info needed to set this up with my mechanic" about the only thing he'll need to know is the weight rating that's on the axle tag located on the center beam of your axles and you'll need a "check/credit card" for somewhere around $600-750 for the parts and labor.
