Need new shocks Las Vegas area, any...

Any recommendations for a shop to do the work?
We are at Cummins on an engine issue but they don't do chassis work.

  • Many can replace shocks but often have little suspension knowledge. One shop that does is Henderson's Line Up in Grant's Pass, OR and their reputation is excellent.

    I knew I needed shocks and alignment. Fortunately no warn parts. I also opted for the ride along road test and glad I did. They used Koni FSD shocks on my rig and the difference was very significant.
  • Installing shocks is NOT rocket science.

    Others with the same chassis (8 outboard air bags/shocks I assume) can chime in on any unforeseen difficulties. Most installations are well within the capabilities of any shade tree mechanic with 3/4" breaker bar, 3/4" to 1/2" adapter and 1/2" drive socket. Yes, air tools makes it easier, but I have installed probably 20 sets of shocks with no air tools.

    You might ask the manufacturer of the shock you choose for the name of a dealer near you.
  • You might ask at the RV park where you are staying. They usually know who is good and who is bad.
