velvet ride spring shackles - Diesel Forum

Hello, I'm trying to find comments on velvet ride spring shackles. I noticed that "sblick" had them listed as an accessory on his van. I have an e-350 club wagon with a 5.8 liter motor. Most of my travels are w/o much load but when we go on a trip w/ kids and pop-up camper we have a much smoother ride it seems. Thanks for any info, johnnyk

Have a look at Velvet Ride Shackle review on an E350

John is from Canada, has added several interesting tid-bits to his diesel E350 and writes well about them.

He also has some great RV ideas too!

Cheers

Hello from Sblick: Yes, I have the velvet ride shackles. I can't really tell how much it improve my ride because I installed them after I had taken only one trip with my van. We had also not driven very much with the van empty since I was begining my mods last winter. I guess you'll have to keep looking for some other info from other people. Sorry I'm not much help.
