Question:

Do you know of any rv shock mounts that mount or bolt to the frame of an RV 5th wheel? I only need the top mount bracket and not a whole kit. this item that you carry has the top mount Im trying to discribe. Do you have an individual item number for the top shock mount? .......Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Mount Kit w/Heavy Duty Oil Shocks - Fits 2-3/8inch Axle Tube Item # LC281255

Expert Reply:

The shock mounts for trailer suspension are not available as replacement or independent parts. You would need to purchase kit # LC281255 or # LC281281.

Another option that bolts to the frame of a 5th wheel are the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System with Under Steel Frame 10,000 lbs # TTRA15252.

Finally, you may want to consider the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs # TSR7000T05 which replaces leaf spring suspension systems.

I reached out to my contact at Timbren and he verified that the Silent Ride setups can indeed be used for triple axle applications. Like you mentioned, you would just need 3 of part # TSR7KS02 for your 7,000 pound axles.
