If your Peterbilt 388 rides rough, leans in turns, or feels unstable on uneven roads, your shocks may be worn out. Replacing them helps restore stability, comfort, and control, especially when you're running heavy loads or long routes.
Find Top-Performing Shock Brands for Your Pete 388
Aftermarket Peterbilt 388 shocks are built for tough, commercial use. They absorb impact, cut vibration, and keep your truck steady mile after mile. Choose from heavy-duty options that match your setup, including Hendrickson Turner, Gabriel Fleetline, and Monroe 65 Series replacements. Each is designed for durability, proper fitment, and consistent performance under load.
When you install new shocks, inspect your mounting hardware and bushings too:

- Bolt kits and spacers keep the shocks tight and properly aligned.
