    Shocks have disconnected from frame

    Elaine from Heartland took great care of me. Parts are being shipped tomorrow and they are paying for the service call. I found a mobile guy who verified the problem was a Dexter design flaw (no lock nuts). The shocks are still working but I will get the upgrade shocks when I reach my summer...
