I skimmed over the review and have a question. How the hell do you preload the springs? or Do you need a spring compressor to preload them, then install the upper coil seat?

I say you are correct. I also say that would suck.


They look like cheap shocks that you put on a show truck or a mud whomper.


Also no wear band on the piston, just O-rings. No thanks.

the mega trucks are constantly breaking them, personally watched a couple break. if you walk around a few of the trucks you are bound to see a couple of bent heims on the shock end. I don't know if its because they build the link suspension different and it binds the heim or if it's the weight of jumping all the time. I'd call them over-priced junk

Love mine!!. Been running 16in(2.5) on 47's for 5yrs now. I like the fact it has heims, and hydro lines for the remote resivor. If it does break you can change it, o rings wear out like any other shock parts that wear out. Seen tons of broke fox and others on the trails. I think it has a lot to do with the set up.
