Joe,

Before you buy them you might want to see what the GMCnet says about these
shocks.

Most of you jump for deals and not stop to see why.
It looks awsome, but fails when it comes to reliability and if you
think he will take care of it, forget it.
On a second thought, go and purchase them.

I hope you never have to return them because they do not fit or under warranty. As around and see if you can find anyone who has ever been able to return any item to them.

Now if you could get them at a price of 3 for 1 then maybe you could order enough spares to be your own warranty service.

I would stick with one of the GMC places with recognized good support and a return program like Jim K.

I had a set of Caspro rear shocks, new in the box. After asking around and doing some reading I decided not to use them and got KYBs from JimK. I gave away the Caspros for the price of shipping. After what I learned I would not have felt right selling them. Will they work? I suppose they will to some degree. The Caspros are old technology, the KYBs the newer gas charged style. Will the KYBs do a better job controlling the coach? I believe yes and backed up my opinion with my bucks.

The gas shocks are very nice, so unless the price is too dear for you, I would also agree that you should contact JimK.

My coach has both the KYB shocks and the Quadrabag suspension, and rides very nicely. When I first got it, the shocks were old and tired, and railroad tracks were quite exciting (almost rollercoaster like). Now, it rides like it should.

Joe,
I guess I didn't make that quite clear the <br/> is the line feed, I though I had to put the quotes on it so it would not get used as a line feed (then it would not be visible) in my note. Take out all the quotes and I bet you have it.

Hey Mac, when you get a chance, see if you can find a "model number" for your wheels. Should be some numbers with the stuff tapped into the back side of the wheel
I cant find ANY 16" steel wheels ANYWHERE...

I'll be out this weekend, will try to do the lunch bunch next weekend..(unless you want to do it this weekend??? Very Happy )

Next week would be BETTER for the lunch bunch.
That would keep me from eating pigout breakfast
at Furr's in Moore then another pigout for lunch!

My coach is at Merle's frame shop down on Shields
to have brakes done and new KYB shocks installed.

Have you tried to find pre-1989 or whatever GM or
Chev inside dually wheels that were recommended
on the list?

Maybe Discount Tire at Shields and I-240 might be
able to recommend an alloy wheel. Somebody on the
list put on some black alloy wheels and I found
that Discount Tire is a dealer for those and they
have the appropriate catalog for the recommended
wheel.

I have tried about every place/location and cant find the bell shaped. All have been cone shaped so far...
Thats why I was wondering if there was a p/n or whatever to help find them.
I need wheels like yours so I can paint them Gloss Black..
Will be doing Chrome trim rings and chrome(covered)nuts/centers on black wheels.

I need to find some soon for my 2 new tires and start moving the tires on it that came from Noahs Ark..

These are the wheels I found on Craigslist.

<http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=38028>

4 where fairly new and that is what the close-ups are from.

2 of the advertised "set" where cone shaped. But I looked through a pile of tires/rims and found some older wheels of the correct shape and dimensions.

I no longer have these wheels and I have been told they did NOT clear the 80mm "upgrade" calipers.
