    That’s me. Still here lurking. Once we get a a shock bigger than a toothpick back there and a weekend to mess with it your back will start to feel better.

    :wave:

    Wait, so is the shock diameter directly related to the performance/valving of the shock?

    I was under the impression that any performance shock is tunable. What makes a "toothpick" not work for this application?

    No, it is not.

    You’re correct. Any performance shock is tunable to an extent. And this shock works fine for his current application.

    Another topic: Jerry cans.

    I have an old USMC can and have been using it for a long time. When I went to fill it up, looked inside to see floating paint from the inside everywhere. Being said, there is a filter on the nozzle but this jerry can leaks even after changing seals 3x. Anyone used the plastic cans?

    I was just going to say go to plastic. I know the military phased out the metal cans.

    For good reason I presume. The stupid thing leaks so much fuel.

    Yup... I finally watched your vid then realized you got out of the Flippac.

    Truck looks epic regardless. :thumbsup:

    I hope to get out west next year - perhaps our paths will cross? :notsure:

    Be well brother.

    Hit me up when you come this way! I'll be in UT/Colorado in June as well!

    Yeah unfortunately the Flippac was going to break in my hands. Even after one trip, I could see the issues that would arise. The new owner loves it just as much as me!

    Y'all got that high-speed LT stuff going on out on the left coast. ;)

    Just got my shit back together for a trip to Tennessee this Wednesday.

    Doing Home Improvements this summer which will prevent a cross-country trip in 2019.

    hope head west in 2020. :fingerscrossed:
