Anyone know the civilian equal for the shocks? I need to replace them. I also need a replacement hand brake, I will take 2 if they are available. The hand brake cables are fine. Any tan tops for the M116A2 trailer?

Simply take the shock off. Fully compress the shock and measure eye to eye. Then fully extend the shock. Again, measure eye to eye. Take the shock down to your local parts house, or better yet, if you have a 4x4 shop in your area and they can find you a replacement. All you need to know is the amount of travel the shock has. That's why you stretch it out. There is nothing special to the military shocks. I will be replacing mine with Bilsteins.

Just some ideas. Haven't tried any of them yet, but that is where the stock system gets them from.

The shock is 11 3/4" collapsed, and 18" extended.
The shock I have has the P.N. that is listed in the post above mine.
The shock also says Gabriel made in Canada.

I'm at work using my phone to reply.

The info you need for the shock is posted, just go Monroe's website, download the shock catalog, and search for a shock with the correct ends and compressed and overall length.

I have a file at home with shocks, brakes and bearing part numbers, just not here at the moment.

The Monroe info is in the dealers section. There are three shocks listed that match whats needed for the trailer.

Just getting a automotive equivalent will not work. The shock works OPPOSITE of a normal car shock. It is HARD to compress but rebounds FAST. That is so the trailer doesn't jerk around and the brakes engage smoothly.

I went through this when I was looked for a replacement shock for a m116a2. I spoke with an engineer who looked up the shock in his system and he told me that the shock is specific for the trailer braking system and that a automotive suspension type shock would not work as a substitution, that the internal valving was completely different between the two.
