Installed Mobile Outfitters Shock Kit

Installed yesterday on my 5th wheel and it all worked out. I had to drill 1 new hole in each bracket to work with my subframe. Kit came with everything and shocks.

Hardest part was getting leverage to drill into the frame while sitting on my butt under the trailer. Mount them at 55 degrees. Kit was about $95 per axle.

Anxious to hear how the coach rides with the shocks installed.

The frame is I beam but it mounted it to my 3/16" box tubing subframe. The bolts cut threads in the brackets and your hole in the frame.

What type of frame do you have? Is it "I" Beam or rectangular tubing?
