I made the brackets from angle iron and flat steel from farm store near me. Torch welder and drill press. I'm sure a fabrication shop could easily make them if you want the measurements.

In the Monroe spec sheet you have to make sure your in the cab shock section. I was going to try car shocks but wasn't sure if they would work. Glad I didn't.

A few months ago Navistar went back to the separate bag and shock system with a cross bar. I sold the truck already but I can take a few pics if it comes back for service before I get some more in. In the mean time I looked it up in the parts catalog and attached the figures. Bags are in the price book for less than $80 ea. Shocks are not priced yet. Probably have to piece out the whole deal unless they decide to come up with a retro kit.

Well I just ordered a proride system as my one airbag started leaking. They have a Canadian distributor in Manitoba who deals with the north, very nice people. A husband and wife place called rays sandblasting, only problem is they aren't set up all too well. I had to email money transfer the money as they aren't set up for credit cards and they told me to arrange shipping myself.
Either way, I'll have it by tomorrow!

Not trying to advertise for them, I am usually the one who be quick to point out most non-oem products for inferior quality, etc. but proride cab suspension is the way to go on a prostar instead of putting factory replacement bags back on it.
