I cant recall them saying anything about being heavy haul. They were listed as RK-RP4037... The bushing design sort of scared me when I first installed them because i could pivot the shock with my hand when installed and tight but they have held up great for over 150k hard miles which are a mixture of city/highway in addition to the quarry's and sand pits and occasional job site.

Oh ya, that's kinda like the Atro polyurethane bushings that are designed to rotate freely.

Do you know where I can buy these Hendrickson shocks

Yes Sir,
I bought mine at Beaumont Freightliner Dealer, you should be able to find them at any western star dealer. Also checkout Hendrickson-intl.com

I'm using the Gabriel Adjustable on my drives, I like them, have them set at medium stiffness as I rarely haul anything heavy. https://amzn.to/2VFXSCl
Monroe on the front. https://amzn.to/2Y5n56K
Saved quite a bit by purchasing on line.
Will these fit on a 2011 kw t660? Looking for front drive shocks and rears.
You will have to go to Monroe and Gabriel website to check for your particular application. I have a ProStar and there is not much out there for us guys...
