In my LMC and Chevy Duty books I see no knee action shocks, which I have. Is a traditional shock a direct replacement, or is there something I don't know?

Thanks,

jay

They are not a direct replacement. What truck do you have? Some folks say the lever-action shocks are fine if they are rebuilt.

I've got a 47 AD. The fronts look okay, but the rears seem to be leaking a ton. I've never even seen parts for them. Any ideas?

Best thing I've done for ride with my 46 was to toss the levers units and go with the tube shocks. Found factory brackets off a 52 or so, fit right on the 46.

Do a search on google for lever action shocks. Lots of companies that remanufacture these shocks
