    So, before I install my LT, should I preemptively clearcoat all of my shocks? Or just throw some wax on them?

    ...too much shit to list.
    If you got the time and tools, than go for it.

    Wax helps, but eventually will wear off and you'll need to repeat.
    Clearcoat works, but can look like shit if not done right. Just keep the paint off the shaft. You only need to worry about the steel shock body itself. The ends and caps are typically aluminum.

    Fluid Film works wonders as an afterthought alternative. That's all I've ever used and still have no corrosion on any of my shocks (except my fox bumps) and I typically have snow on the ground 4-5 months a year.

    But on the subject of coatings....
    For those in really shitty environments, ADS does a cadmium plating to theirs...and then shoots a ceramic clear coat over it so you don't have to.

    just curious, how is it like a double bypass if it affects the oil flow into the resi throughout the entire stoke of the shock vs a certain point of travel like a bypass tube?

    It's not at all like a bypass ha biggest thing they help with is cavitation. Really only useful on a coilover

    All the ones we had in stock sold this week. I'm waiting on parts from Toyota to get some more built. I'll keep you posted on when the parts come in. The holidays are not helping!

    Yeah I've heard foxes corrode... But there is fluid film for that.

    Can someone explain the bypass to me a little more? It just makes it easier or harder for the shock to compress right?

    Bypass tubes are dependent on the position of the shaft. Whereas normal valving is speed sensitive

    Ok so this is where I get confused if I really need them. So what i leave them set to a stiffer setting on the road, and Then make them soft before I get on the trail? You'd think since normal valving is speed sensitive then I'd be fine with low speed crawling stuff...

    Yeah lower speed = shocks compressing slower right?

    On the road you really won't be able tell the difference, you won't use enough travel to leave the bypass tube.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Repost for the new guy.
    It behooves you to start researching now before you pull the trigger on anything to avoid regrets and redoing. Understanding the mechanics of how a shock works and tuning characteristics is far more important than travel numbers.

    I was planning on building the trans mounts with a bushing just like I use on the motor mounts, you need some give



    Actually the opposite. As you hit harder and the fluid tries to move faster through the piston more shims come into play and the fluid slows down
