rear shocks for my M1028A3 Dually

[roveroverme]

I think one of the rear shocks of my M1028A3 is messed up/leaking. Where can I buy a new or used one?
thanks guys

when I peaked under there, they looked like fancy little coil overs. That's why I was asking.
Does anyone know what these shocks are? I saw a video of another 1028. but that one doesn't have these coil over shocks.

Those are Sway Away shocks not sure if they are still in business.

You still can get coil over shocks from napa they are about $250 a pair just put some on an f250 they are kinda like adding a helper spring

 

[Csm Davis]

Those are not standard coil over shocks they push and pull both. Coil overs just push.

You might just replace the shock and clean and reuse the spring assy.

Csm Davis If I could do that would save me a few $$$ . Then I could just get a 2" shock or whatever the diameter is and rebuild the coil over part.

The kits to convert the shelter carriers over to dual wheels did come with a sway bar. Some trucks have them, some do not. Don't know if the unit or depot that installed them may have just not installed them. Hence the use of a sway shock. Factory built dually 4x4's weren't offered with a rear sway bar but the 2WD trucks were. I tried in vane to get one on the back of a 4x4 dually I ordered in 1986 but such an option didn't exist. It did get a factory tach though. I'm currently in the market for a rear sway bar for my M1010.
