doghouse

Autohauz list them for $5. They have regular pickup and extended cab, but list the same part number. I am assuming you need two? Regular cab or extended? The guy above said the dealer said the part is motorhome specific? BS? Thanks

Good post. I have this noise as well. Anyone have a pic of these bolts? Part number?

Has this been decided yet? I have a 1990 Odyssey V6 auto. Do I need to find a T100 90 -95 auto V6 that will allow me to do a direct swap? Do I have to live with the mileage of a used one or can I change that as well? Mine has 51 k on it. Thanks

Why is 185 correct vs. 195? would not the slightly taller tire be better? Not much difference here if they are both 8 ply. There rears look OK no visable cracks and are 2 ply side wall. I figured the front would be a much worse place for a blow out than one tire on the rear dually. Speaking of duallys on the rear does my spare fit on the rear as well? Meaning all wheels are interchangeable? I have not taken off a wheel on the rear dually set up yet. Trick to get the inside wheel off on the rear dually? How would you change on the road if your inside dually went flat? Also is there a replacement kit for the two air hoses that come out for the rear dually air fill set up? Might be a good idea to have a replacement set on hand when I go to change the rears. I doubt the tire place would have something like this in stock?

Just one front. Rears look OK. Actually Hankook sells a RA08 195 for $89 at the busdepot.com I think I want the slightly taller tire.

I have 195 75R 14 tires sears trial handler guardsman on my 1990 odyssey. I noticed one of the front tires has a crack in the side wall. Can I replace just the fronts with the Hankook RA08 185 tires. No big deal between the 185 and 195. Right? Thanks

I went with the Monroe Sensatrac 58627. I mounted them and the fit no problem. Just had to jack up the shock a couple of inches with the frame on stands and the rear end dropped down. Compressed Length14 1/4" Extended Length22 1/2" Travel Length8 1/4" I compared the Monroe 58567 to the gabriels 43048 and they are the same size extended, so I went with the longest monroe that fit. I have not test driven it with a load. Waiting for the fronts and steering damper to come in.

The stock shocks I took off when you measure from center of bushing to bushing go from 23 inches fully extended to 13.5 inches fully compressed. I assume they never get to these extremes, but the 58627 model is the closest to these measurements. Am I figuring this correctly?

I got off the phone with the Monrow tech. He said the following shocks should fit. Which one should I use? The longest one with the most travel? 58627? The 58486 is the one recommended for toyota pick ups, but the pick up is not the motorhome set up in the rear. The 58486 18 inch shock will not reach the mounting locations according to my measurements with the suspension under its own load wheels on the ground. I would have to put some weight in it to compress the suspension. Ideally, don't you want the forces pushing out when the wheels are on the ground (meaning you would have to compress the shock to make it on the mounting pionts? That is why I was thinking of going with the longer shock. Any thoughts? 58486 Upper Mounting CodeL1 Lower Mounting CodeL1 Compressed Length11 1/8" Extended Length18" Travel Length6 7/8" 58567 Upper Mounting CodeL1 Lower Mounting CodeL1 Compressed Length12 1/2" Extended Length20 3/8" Travel Length7 7/8" 58627 Upper Mounting CodeL1 Lower Mounting CodeL1 Compressed Length14 1/4" Extended Length22 1/2" Travel Length8 1/4"

Well I finally found the part number for the Monroe load levelers 58486 Rock auto has them $63 for the pair. http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/prt,904,58486 says maintain ride height up to 1200 lbs Compressed Length11.125"Extended Length18.000"Travel6.875"Parts PackP101http://catalog.monroe.com/catalogPart/displayPartDetails.do?partKey=185935&catalogKey=298&partNumber=58486&catalogCode=monroe&loadStatus=ACTIVE&locale=EN&methodName=displayPartDetails The gabriel load assists do not list the specs, but are a bout 19 to 20 inches in extended length measuring center of bushing mount to bushing. 43048 The gabriels say 500 lbs per pair of load capacity vs the 1200 for the monroes http://www.gabriel.com/ Not sure which one is better. I don't know if having the extra 1 or 2 inches of length on the gabriel is better than the monroes or they are close enough?

Nothing for the load leveler series for toyota. They call it a sensatrac load assist different from sensatrac regular. http://www.monroe.com/products/Sensa-Trac/Load-Adjusting-Shock-Absorbers

I know for a fact that the Gabriel load carrier rear shocks fit 43048. Autozone $76 for a pair I might just use these with the airbags for now before trying helper springs. I noticed that Monroe sells a Sensatrac load assist shock that looks similar to the Gabriel one above, but does not list a use for a 1990 Toyota truck. Anyone ever try theses shocks and have a part number for one that fits?

Thanks for the info. JC got the Hellwig leaf assists I think I need for $95. Not sure if this kit 1598 is for 2 spring set or 4. 4wd or 2wd? http://www.jcwhitney.com/heavy-duty-shocks-with-overload-springs/p2006170.jcwx?filterid=c11298d2183y1990j2 This other kit 1515 says 4 springs $129 http://www.truckspring.com/suspension-parts/helper-springs/leaf-springs/hellwig.aspx?make=Toyota&year=1990&model=Pickup The hellwig site says 1560 for Toyota 1 ton dually RV $142 http://www.hellwigproducts.com/products/load-control/medium-duty-helper-springs/ The other setups may not apply, but the other guys seemed to use the 550 kit. What about these Gabriel HD shocks with overload springs? These are not gas shocks as well? I don't see a problem with the shock mounts carrying a little bit of the load? Better than air shocks? $84 a pair http://www.jcwhitney.com/heavy-duty-shocks-with-overload-springs/p2006170.jcwx?filterid=c11298d2183y1990j2 Another option? Ride control helpers. $29 a pair. Could put over monrows in the future if I needed more beef? http://www.jcwhitney.com/ride-control-helpers/p2005874.jcwx?filterid=c11298d2183y1990o120j2 Monrow has got a buy three get one free deal on shocks that ends in May. About $85 for four shocks with this deal. 34803 rear and 34953 front. Also Air lift has a $50 rebate on airbag kit that ends in May Any thoughts?

Thanks for the input but I would like to know where I can get these leaf spring assists and input from anyone that has used them? Link? Where to buy? Thanks
