Thousands of miles on harsh Nevada backroads and intermediate difficulty 4 wheeling.

I had them installed for about five years till the right side started leaking and then the shaft came loose from the valve inside the shock.
One thing I wouldn’t do again is set them above .85”(second from bottom).
It has a lot of pre-load and rides terrible in the front. My next set of shocks will most likely be Dobinsons IMS.
You may be able to see oil all over and the plastic cap on the shock body pushed up. You can also see how bad my stock upper control arms contacted the spring.
