Alabama thread!

True. Many people run the 5100s hard, but it is also very hard on the shock from overheating. It is only a matter of time before I will need to upgrade I'm sure

 

Just giving you hell. We are always there to help a brotha out.

Even if he doesn't use enough ugga duggas to tighten his shock.

 

Where do you carry your spare when its not on?

 

I can't say I've actually seen or read any experiences in folks with/without reservoirs having any differences..sometimes I wish I had not gotten reservoirs, like when I had to notch the mounting bracket for bumper support or now that I occasionally rub the resi's

 

just laying in his bed, bouncing around with his cooler

 

In the bed, if I need to haul anything I stand it up.

 

I'll probably go without reservoirs when I get coilovers and add them during the rebuild process if I decide I need them.

 

I was really impressed with the on-road ride of my Kings. It was way better than stock.

 

I've been tempted to just try trading/selling mine off and getting a non-resi set from somewhere.

 

lol no no.

 

I think reservoirs are more for high speed off roading and none of us can say we do any high speed offroading

 

I would agree. However, even at slowish speeds they compress a great deal over the amount of time we spend on trails. Still probably not enough to need the extra oil for cooling though.

 

We don't even come close to heating so overheating should not be a problem

 

Its a big ole grade 8 bolt. Could hold more than 100. 37 is crazy low to me.

 

If I remember correctly I simply just snugged em down good, since mine is flipped I couldn't get a deepwell socket on it anyways so had to wrench them...I think...

 

But i like to listen to the squish noises the oil makes when it rushes through the hoses to the resi

 

Not with a 2.5” coilover. My 5100s get pretty hot though

 

Yeah but the reservoir is really not for cooling a shock. A reservoir is mostly full of nitrogen to give you a little more control for high-speed applications

 

lmao you gif'd the cooler!!!

 

Lol yeah a reservoir might have got me over it
