    Only bought it a few days ago. I read somewhere on here that with the custom vendors, just buy it and forget about it.

    I'll post as soon as it comes in.

    Are most smooth body shocks air shocks? I'm getting a list together for my suspension and I need to know if they don't come pre filled with nitrogen where I should fill them. Are there any smooth body shocks that aren't air shocks, and if so where do I find them?? I'm looking into fox. Thanks for the help!

    they come precharged. only rebuildable shocks can be recharged. hydro non charged shocks are almost exclusively low end twin tube shocks that you probably dont want.

    why wouldnt you want nitrogen charged shocks?

    Woke up half an hour late to work, jumped out of bed, 2 minute shower, ran out the door, forgot something inside, ran inside without putting on the parking brake, my dad starts yelling "its rollin! its rollin!" sprint outside jump in the truck slam on the brake and the second I slam on the brake I hit my brothers truck just above the driver side rear wheel well... was a great start to my day to say the least.

    Haha yea I wish I could, if it was just a dent I'd pull it and call it a day but that's gonna rust so I have to fix it :rolleyes:
    Haha great, maybe I will fix it myself then, tan spray paint is close enough right? :p

    So even though DSM says they may not come precharged they will right? It's not that I don't want them just exploring options. I'm going long travel in rear and mid up front and I don't want my rear to be stiff because of the nitrogen shocks and the deaver leafs.
