Stevon Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I had a spring fail, so I decided to replace all four springs. In the process of replacing springs I realized that all four of my shocks had failed. I have about 35k miles on the trailer and was surprised that all four shocks had failed. Has anyone replaced the stock shocks with a higher quality product? 2021 Oliver Legacy Elite II Hull #845 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAX Burner Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) @Stevon - We replaced our's last year. The shocks were most likely OEM from when Oliver built it - if memory serves, 3 of the 4 were bad. We went with the same shock from Monroe - only difference was they're no longer yellow, they're black now. We'll be checking these new shocks when we replace the leaf springs in a couple weeks. They've got just north of 11k miles on them...FYI PS: It would be nice if you could add your OTT hull number and year to your signature block so other owners can better help answer any future questions you may have.

Same here. One was bad so I bought a pair of the same model monroe. Could not find a better shock as nothing cross-references with it. Anyone have a better shock please provide make and part number 1 2021 Elite II, Hull# 898 2018 Toyota Tundra, 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9l SRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check with Mike at ALCON Springs tomorrow - he may have a suggestion as they do a lot of rock crawler suspension mods....
