The Lair

Think about it! I’ll let you know before I post in the marketplace because I don’t see them lasting long there

 

You should just replace your whole suspension, then sell it to @Justanotherhemi for $100 bucks. That's a good idea, right?

 

That’s basically what I did with @Kemosabe! These rear shocks are the only part he didn’t get

 

Just do it again! lol

 

welcome to the b110 club

 

super productive at work today

 

Same here

 

I don't remember the last time I gammed lol

 

#fancy

 

I’m having fun but I’m about to take advantage of the warm weather and go work on the truck!

 

What are you Tackling first?

 

Right now swapping in the B110. One side went great, but the other side I had trouble getting the 5100 off. I rounded out the hex key on top that keeps the shaft from spinning. I had to take an angle grinder and create a flat spot at the verrrry top 1/2” of the shaft. Shouldn’t create any problems for the future buyer since most people won’t be hitting full compression like that. Sucks because it’ll make it a harder sell.

 

damn suck for sure! maybe next time try a pair of vise grips on the shaft? that's what I did with my OEM and it went ok

 

I tried that, with them as tight as I could possibly get them. Just spun

 

that usually happens. The tops need a 5 or 6mm wrench before you try the vice grips. You might need to cut them off now

 

then grinder
gonna give grips to the next owner lol whats the problem?

 

This is what I had to do. Just two little flatish spots all the way at the top. I don’t foresee it causing any issues. If you’re compressed that much, you’re probably at risk of bottoming out.

 

I see nothing wrong with this... and don't think it will affect the strenght of the shock either. Good to sell!

 

I agree! Realistically I could not tell them and they would never know, but that’s not how I roll.

 

Better tell the truth than get negative feedback all over the forum! if the buyers is not comfortable buying the shocks with that mark then someone else will get them!
I am sure @Justanotherhemi will take them like this tho!
