I'm thinking of replaceing shackles on our '08 Durango,how do you decide which ones to buy? also what about the shocks? thank you for any help. btw I have 6000# axles.
Lippert will sell you the parts direct. When i bought mine i got them directly from trailair pretty reasonable. But they are now part of Lippert, so.....
You can call lippert and get the correct ones. First go to there web page its full of information on those. Second you can try mobile outfitters, they are a different arm of lippert.
I just finished ording the wet bolts from lippert and called mobil outfitters for tech. help. If its just wet bolts and shackles you may want to try the never fail bushings. Call and talk to "sonny" at mobil outfitters.
I installed the never fail bushings last summer. I've not looked at them this year due to a couple of Carpel Tunnel surgery's. The 5er has sat since April and I've got a bad itch to be traveling.
I got mine from a place that sells horse trailers. I bought the complete kit that he happened to have on hand. You can buy just the parts that you need. It can be diy project but does take some time and some mech. ability.
Get your shocks from a parts house. Brought the old ones in and they had a cross reference for a Monroe. You could also order on line and get them cheaper. The OEM Chinese shocks were bad after a few thousand miles. One was frozen and I could not free up, the other three had no resistance.
