    Agreed.


    And fluid film on your shock bodies.

    Im not sure what is out there but if you want to put together some links and PM me?

    Outside of adding Molylube to my UBs, I leave my shocks alone between rebuilds. But I'm in AZ and I don't have to deal with sea air and salt BS.

    I did fluid film on all my front suspension the other day and I don't know if I am impressed. It looks like my front suspension is now a giant flytrap for debris. Before, dirt, salt, little rocks, etc would hit the coil overs and bounce of. Yes they likely were abrasive in the process but now they stick to the fluid film and just stay there.

    Yeah maybe the relocation kit will change it but right now with the OMEs I have plenty of room to go negative, just haven't been able to get there that I have seen.

    Yeah, I wouldn't be the one to answer that as I don't touch my shocks either. It was just a suggestion as it does get asked a lot :thumbsup:

    I'd only use it on the bodies right before winter and spring I'd clean it all off. Same goes for the frame. Other than loading up the boxed portion that rots out of course.

    Fluid film smells and looks exactly like aircraft bifowler grease for anyone thats been around Helo's.

    I use Fluid Film on the entire underside of my truck. Works great over a long Utah winter. I don't spray it on the suspension. I just wash those components a lot in winter. The FF seems to wear off after about 9-12 months. Be careful where you apply it. The overspray is slicker than owl poop.

    What kind of gun are you spraying your frame with? Do you spray your leaf springs at all? They salt like crazy here....

    They also sell FF in a 1 gallon jug. Very tempting, although it will probably do 3 or 4 trucks.

    I was looking at the paint can, which I know of people rolling on their frames... But I'm lazy and want an air gun to spray it on.
