I called Superlift today inquiring about the steering stabilizer shocks I ordered back in April 
They have now pushed me out till September 11
The rep said I'm the only one to have ordered that part number since April and long ago Superlift had stopped stocking it, so its a special order.
I did learn from him that Superlift gets their shocks from Gabriel and he mentioned that now Skyjacker does too, he said previously Skyjacker was getting their's from Monroe.
My originals as supplied from Quigley are Skyjacker lable.
So now I'm going to contact Quigley and see what's happening there.
I told the Superlift guy that I'd cancel the order if they are not in by September 11.

what do you do when 80,000lbs doesnt squish the 5th wheel plate down so you can get the new pins in?
remove weight, take the pin out, grind the beveled edge a little more, lubricate it some more.........AND PUSH IT IN BY HAND?! 3 hours of smashing it with a sledge hammer, trying to squish the new bushings to line the holes up with a loaded trailer, and it wont budge. grind 1/32nd off of it, and it slides in easily, sent the last inch home with a LIGHT HAMMER TAP.
what a night. hope everyone is out enjoying thirsty thursday in celebration of FRIDAY TOMORROW!!!!!!

Good morning, everyone. Just dropping in before I head off to work. My brother tells me we're getting Honeycrisp apples in for this weekend. Joy to the freakin world. Those things have a cult following I swear. People have been asking about them since August. We also got cider in this weekend. It's gonna be a busy day.
