Long Travel BS Thread

Whether I hold the piston valve with finger or with the no loss chuck release valve it leaks fluid. I was not compressing the shaft in either case.

 

You probably don’t have a problem then. If it holds pressure you’re good. A little oil released isn’t a big deal - I had the same thing happen but I’m talking a couple drops. Might have to refill before you install them for good but to mock up it’s fine. Just use your fingernail or a house key or similar object next time and have them vertical to be able to stop right when oil starts coming out.

 

Good info thanks

 

This. It’s an emulsion shock so you will loose oil if you’re not cautious. Hold it upside down and open the schrader and you’ll loose a ton of fluid.

 

So I am FINALLY going to be putting a front end kit on my truck. Just want to double check with yall. Do I need any random fluids? Going to get some good grease, and dot3 fluid. I thought I saw that you need to replace fluid after installing new cv's. I forget if it's atf, or gear oil...

 

you gotta drain the front diff and replace

How much of a difference would it make on the street bumping up from 500 to 600lb coils?

 

that’s a very broad question with all of the variables involved. Overall I’d say significant enough to really question that decision. Why?

 

I have 500's now that are in need of cleaning up, and there are some 600's for sale that I could swap to.. Just curious really

 

You bottom out much in the dirt? How much preload do you have on the 500s?

 

If you're happy with your ride height and quality I wouldn't increase spring rate personally.

 

.9" of preload, sits level. Never really had issues bottoming out, but its been a while since Ive pushed it on dirt

 

how much are they asking for the coils?
