Lippert shock kit installed on Grand Design 2800BH

It was easy. 1 hour 12 minutes for one side. I did only one side to make sure this all worked and to address and issues. Well, there were no issues but I did make one slight mistake. The shock should be mounted to the axle plate closest to the equalizer in the center. I followed internet pictures vs the instructions. After the fact, I see there is more movement of the axle closest to the center equalizer for the shock to help control. Thus for best performance...follow the instructions.

Top mount does require a slight mod not included in my install time. Cut off a large corner section to fit within the I-beam frame.





  • Nice to hear from someone who has done this. I've been tempted but I'm not sure what type frame it's on. The belly is covered so that has been a major deterrent. Would really like to know your opinion on how they perform after you've put a few miles on them.
  • Looks great!

    I'd love to do this on my trailer but I lack the clearance between the brake drum and the frame.

    Me too!

    We've got a full 3 week, 5,000 mile round trip next June. You bet I'll have a report to share.
