SHOCKS

I installed a set on mine last year. Was fairly simple work. I don't think it gives me quite the smooth ride as OC claims, but I'm a good bit heavier than he is.

If you have the Lippert kit, the brackets that mount on the shackles are bent to put shock at an angle.

I got my shocks from CW and got them installed yesterday. The kit was missing a few bolts other than that it was good kit. Easy to install. Took me about 6hrs. I did have to weld a 1 & 3/4" extension on two of the upper brackets (one on each side) to get around the square shaft for the slideout. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

The latest flyer that I received from Camping World has the shock set called 'Joy Rider' for 259.99. Is that what you put on and does that come with four shocks (two for each side)?
