I will get pics up tomorrow. These have never been used but the bodies are a little crappy looking. They are the shocks that I used to mock up my buggy with. They are fresh back from rebuild from FOA. One leaks like a Cold War era Russian submarine. The shaft wobbles in all 4. I suspect this is because FOA is incompetent and can not manufacture a shock correctly. I do not know what it will take to get these shocks functioning properly. However, I am fairly confident that a little time making some custom parts on a lathe would have them working fine. Do not expect any support from FOA on these. I mean, you wouldn't get any anyway, but you especially won't with these because they are retro-fitted one-offs. Basically, FOA shipped me defective pieces of **** to begin with then had to ship them back to fix them with "new" technology. But when I got them back they were even more defective than when I sent them. So after months and months of waiting they finally sent me all new. I didn't have time to wait so I had already replaced their **** with good Fox **** so I sold the good ones. It has been half a year since I emailed them multiple times to let them know to send a call tag for these pieces of **** and they are too incompetent to even do so. I called many times and left voice mails and no one ever returned those either. I warned them in the emails that I would be selling them if I didn't hear back and I have not heard back. All my bump stops from them are leaking also. After half a year of hounding them to get the replacement bump stops they said they would send they have not and I am just done with FOA now, wasted too much time trying to get it all right and am cutting my losses. 2x 14's, and 2x 16's. Make me an offer, I don't care, anythign I get off these is just a bonus at this point. If you know how to work on shocks I bet you'll get a great deal on these. Anything I can get off them is just bonus money at this point. Oh, and the 14's have right angle swivel fittings and all 4 have dual-rate hardware.
I would just take these to the dump but it seems like a shame when I know there are some junk collectors here always looking for a deal.
