The key advantages of fitting shocks to steel sprung trucks and trailers include:

  • Vastly improved tyre wear (better traction)
  • Better braking (No Axle-hop or wind up)
  • Reduced vibration damage (less equipment & load damage)

  • 4 x U-brackets
  • 4 x Bolts 3/4 UNF ZP GR8 3”

M1153K

The M1153K front lower mount bracket kit is a highly recommended upgrade suitable for fitment to the Hino FD1J Ranger when replacing the OE shock absorbers.

The key advantage of installing the M1153K kit is that a shock absorber with greater control can be fitted improving overall steering and handling, without the risk of breaking the original 12 mm mounts.

The bracket kit utilises a larger 16 mm lower mounting pin that is retro-fitted under the axle by a longer U-bolt.

Complete bracket kit contains

  • 2 front U-bolts
  • 1 right hand lower mount
  • 1 left hand lower mount
