FMTV Shock Absorbers

[dronsen]

Has anyone sourced aftermarket front and rear shock absorbers for L/MTV's? Would you please post manufacturer and PN's?

Thank you

Rancho makes some longer offroad shocks. If I remember correctly the Lmtv Shock is around 36 inches extended and compresses a decent amount. The prices weren't bad I was going to measure the mount holes and see how large the rancho holes were. Never got around to it I just swapped shocks off parts trucks. But if I needed shocks that's where I would start looking.

Anyone come up with anything?

I just ordered King 2.5 smoothies for my truck. They are a little pricey but we use them on our race cars and they are the best money can buy there around $300 a shock custom valved for the 1078.

 

[dronsen]

Thanks - do you have part numbers? Do you have the specs you gave King to make them (length, throw, etc.)? Thanks

 

[cybindustries]

Ill dig up the build sheet and post it

Did this info ever get posted? I could use some new shocks.

Chatted with Rancho, none of their products are appropriate for our weight, the rep loved the LMTV though

The only ones I have found so far in our weight class and of the appropriate size are made by Monroe. Dont have the number now, just use their spec search engine on their website With our shock length and weight class.

Grigsby trucking in OR specced out some custom ones for our rigs made by Fox. Not an unreasonable price either IMO.

If you have a chance to share the Monroe part number, it will be nice so this thread can be finally closed. I searched in their but afraid of sharing the wrong number, it will be nice to get a part number from someone that actually used them.

FYI:
I've placed an order on Fox shocks March 15, 2021 and I still have not received the shocks.
At this stage I'm ready to cancel my order and go with Monroe or anything that is available.

I have good used shocks (stock) if anyone needs some PM me.

A year, and you’re “ready to cancel”. No way would I have waited that long.

I’ve no other choice and I’m not using the truck. Would have cancel already if I had another option.
