    All of their bypass shocks are out of stock. Suspect.

    Their prices aren't much better than the known brand names. If you're willing to be a guinea pig then have at it, but if you don't have the spare cash in case you need to replace them I'd recommend going with a known quantity.

    LOL that guy needs some bumpstops in the worst way! Coil bind is no way to limit compression. :p

    He should also figure out what's rubbing his inner sidewall.

    Sorry for going off-topic. :eek: Any idea when your bypass shocks will be back in stock?

    Cool deal. I'm set up on my rig but I figured others on the site would be interested.

    FYI for you so you know what business to watch for. 99% of the guys running LT up front will be looking for 2.5" 8" travel triple bypass shocks. Rears will want 2.5" 16" or 18" triples.
