I have a solution for you that will work as a replacement. Unfortunately, we do not carry the correct replacement shock T4502000 for your Dico Aero 6000 actuator because it has been discontinued from production. I went ahead and reached out to Dexter axle (the makers of the Dico Aero 6000), and they said that, sadly, the only thing to do would be to replace the actuator itself. I know that this can be frustrating to hear, but the good news is that we do have some great options.

For a replacement that has a similar weight capacity (7,500 pounds) as the Dico Aero 6000, I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On # DX89FR (disk) or # DX33FR (drum). In addition to the similar weight capacity of the Dico Aero 6000, the DX7.5 A-60 will allow you to use the same 2-inch ball mount that you previously used.
