    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    No longer working with King. Now organizing a rally raid in Mexico called the Sonora Rally (www.sonorarally.com). Dakar style event with Dune crossings. My brother designed the Ridgeline shocks as he was the driver of that car. They were one off. No production of that particular shock was ever...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    The rebuild kit is just the airbag assembly, which you remove from the shock. The shock seems to be a standard mono tube non rebuildable unit. I don't have the full specs in them without pulling one apart. http://www.powerpackerus.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/PP_FullLine.pdf

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Cab shock update: not sure if posted elsewhere but I pulled my cab shocks and airbags apart and did some research. The manufacturer of this set up is a company called Power Packer and they sell rebuild kits. I purchased two through the distributor, Ohio Hydraulics, for $195 a piece plus...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Those are 3.0 Race series with 3 bypass tubes. They run around $1,200 a piece. The non bypass smooth body shocks would be around $850 each. There are other options as well. King has the specs to do custom builds with some of their HD Truck line parts. That could bring the costs down but would...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Finally got my shocks installed and tested at Sonora Rally. They worked great. I used the 12" King Pure Race series shocks fitted with a custom bottom rod end. I mounted bypass shocks but a standard smooth body will work as well. Took the truck into the dunes and she did very well.

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Yes I have drawings for the front shocks but not for the cab shocks. I need some dimensions on those to see if we have parts (if one of you can access those numbers send them over). From what I have researched it looks like the original shock absorbers have a 2.5 diameter piston. I based our...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    If someone gets me extended and collapsed lengths with the diameter of the cab shock I can see what is available. I have drawings and options for the 1078 LMTV regular shocks and hopefully will get some ideas on cost soon.

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    After taking my LMTV off road I noticed one of the shocks leaking badly. Took it off and it was junk. So now I need a new one. Lucky for me I work for King Shocks and have some experience with putting shocks on some of the Dakar race rigs (Mercedes, MAN and DAF). I am in the middle of putting...
