Re: Rear shock mounts!! Need help

i found a local trailer supply house and bought most of my parts there.
using etrailer.com i found these parts

u-bolt plate for the bottom of the spring for $2.79 the size is determined by the axle size and spring width



etrailer also has u-bolts and kits. i didn't see spring pads, but my local guy had them for maybe $3 each. buy local to save on shipping heavy parts. most of the trailer stuff is for 5000 to 8000 lb axles with brakes, so don't worry about them being heavy enough.

Re: Rear shock mounts!! Need help

I needed some stock lower shock mounts and just made some myself. I actually need to redo another set as I want to bring them back and up just a bit.

Re: Rear shock mounts!! Need help

monroe-matic 33086, but i replaced them with air shocks
my 4'' c-notch was too small
i'd send them to for free but it would cost more to ship than to buy locally

you probably won't need shocks you will be riding on the frame without a c-notch
