How often you replace tractor shocks? I did mine August last year. Tanker work seams to work shocks a lot.
Tanker OOs. Shock replacement, how often?

Considering normal shocks only lasts 6 months max pulling normal freight, id guess they last less than 3 months on a tanker with all the extra force liquid surge puts on them.
Have you looked into roadkings?Last edited: Jun 22, 2018

77fib77 Thanks this. -
Between 12-18 months. Last set on my Mack were Gabriel gas sold the truck after 12 months and they were still fine. I just put Gabriel oil OEM shocks on my Freightliner, still to new to tell ya.
I wouldn't spend the money on Roadkings! You can replace your shocks with Gabriel or Monroe almost 6 times before equaling the cost of the Roadkings. -

I paid $46 each for the oil Gabriel at Freightliner. The gas over oil is $56 at fleet pride. The actually OEM Freightliner shocks were $96 I think.
