    It looks like an exact rip-off of the JD2 mod3. And other than this: Maximum Wall Thickness: 0.134; I suspect its fine.

    ETA: keep an eye out for free shipping or 10% off codes (which will cover the shipping).

    I know JD2 has a 10% code on IG right now.

    What do you guys spray your shocks down with for desert rides? If anything. I’ve tried PAM and WD-40 with mixed results.

    That's correct, JD2 has 10% off with $200+ shipping for the mod32 and $122 shipping for mod3.
    Pro-tools has FREE shipping.

    I've done the homework:
    Pro-Tools: $763 shipped (with die)
    JD2 mod3: $762 shipped (with die)

    LOL, basically Pro Tools is more expensive with way cheaper shipping for some reason, Pro Tools is in Florida and JD2 in Tennessee.
    Shipping cost from JD2 kinda kills de deal.

    What are you trying to accomplish by spraying them with something?

    Try to keep the alkali from corroding them.

    With Kings and the factory bump stops removed the truck has way more up travel. The stock length arms with Kong’s will cycle almost 12” if there is nothing in the way stopping the tire

    Just wash after use if you’re concerned. They salt the roads up here and I just make sure to hose the truck down with fresh water every week or two to wash off any corrosive elements that have been picked up. The coating on the shock bodies are going to show some signs of wear regardless of your environment, but keeping the shock shafts clean is what’s important. Luckily the coating on those is much better.

    Have you cycled it yet to find that number? I was calculating at least 10” but that was off the top of my head without much work.

    I wonder how much an LT kit could make. For science. :gossip:

    If they do I bet it’s not much, I would source out some distributors though as they likely might have better deals than tc direct would.

    Depending on what you get I think some shops will give better discounts the more you buy at one time.

    @Anthony250 and I have the Fiberwerx 8" - they stuff 35's with 1.5" spacers on his and 33's and 2" spacers on mine (haven't tried with my 35's yet) on a Tundra axle.

    Cool thanks for the pic. I will probably do the Fiberwerx 8" then. I have a camburg housing built to be approx 1" per side wider than a tundra axle and my tires are technically 34's.
