Question:
What is the capacity of the Lippert Components Standard Replacement Shock - Black Item # LC283271
asked by: Kent
Expert Reply:
I reached out to my tech contact at Lippert and the Standard Replacement Shock - Black # LC283271 doesn't have a rated capacity but is designed only for use on 2-3/8 inch diameter axles. That axle size is the 3,500 lb axle, so seeing as they are designed for 2 shocks per axle, the closest I can give you to a capacity is approximately 1,750 lbs but shocks aren't weight bearing so that is why they aren't rated for a capacity.
Any axle above the 3,500 lbs would require the Lippert Components Heavy-Duty Replacement Shock - Yellow # LC283280. This comes in an axle kit with brackets # LC281281.
