Review on 🛠️ Dexter K71-653-00 Suspension Upgrade Kit by Veeravelu Tang

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Dexter won't help you if you're in trouble.

Installed this system on my toy dump truck for an upgrade. Everything went well except that the bolts for the spring ends were too short. Also, the main center screw was too short. Forest River had my RV recalled because the wheels hit the fender area. Mine wasn't that bad, just a few marks showing where the wheels might have touched when I hit a bump. They sent an upgrade kit to my camper company and installed it. Unfortunately, the screws were therefore too short. The springs have new bushings on the ends and I lubricate them well, but now I have installed screws that are not lubricated and the knurling is worn on the old screws to keep them from turning. I can replace the center screw with another screw as it is not designed for a grease fitting. I am very disappointed because I contacted the system manufacturer and they will not do anything for me. All I need are four special screws that can be greased which I can't get from Fastenal or the like because they have shoulder screws and they are knurled. Maybe I can weld four of these so they don't rotate. There was evidence that one of them twisted and slightly lengthened the hole.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
