    read that before...lol

    i'd totally run a smooth body as a secondary shock. like you said, it's just a bit more work to dial in the proper valving

    any shock is better than the secondary shocks i have right now ;)

    It might fit but he probably needs something that'll cycle more than 5-6 times before giving out. :devil:

    ok here it goes.....
    if a coilover and a bypass shock are going to be used in conjuction with each other, the coilover should be converted over to what is known as a "Coil Carrier" (basically their is little to zero valving in the CoilOver) and the Bypass should have the Majority of the valving so you can properly and easily tune the conrner of the truck/vehicle out on the field,

    if you use a coilover with conjuction of a smooth bodied shock, you can achive the comfort of running a dual shock set up by initially properly tuning the coilover with the correct valving,

    in my opinion runing a CoilOver and a Smooth bodied shock is a waste of $$$ as you do not gain the benefit of a Bypass shock in the "tuning in the field" aspect, those are my 2 cents on this discussion

    let the back talk begin....ha ha ha....

    Hass!
