What Angle Should Trailer Suspension Shock Kit Install at
Question:
We bought a shock kit for our Alliance Paradigm 5th wheel. We need advice for location of mounting brackets, the brackets are wider than the 2inch brace that is under the I-beam. We plan on drilling to place brackets, so the correct location is important.
asked by: Valerie B
Helpful Expert Reply:
The correct location for the shock kit mounting brackets will be where it allows the shock to sit at the correct angle. If you had a Roadmaster Shock Kit like the # RM-2460 you referenced you'd need the angle to be between 20 and 40 degrees from completely vertical.
