    Most people don't have a patience to tune them properly it takes time to set them up to your truck and some people don't like that. They just want to fill and go then say they ride like crap.

    I'm digging mine, tuning them is key like Jerry said. I plan to get some video this weekend of my set up at high & low speed to see how they are working from a different perspective. From inside the cab they are very predictable and smooth.

    Hey Jerry,
    Can you contact ori about temp limitations? Specifically cold temps?
    I tried with no success, figured since you were a dealer you would have better luck. Thanks man;)

    They don't have any that I know of. Its big changes in temp really fast that will effect them. I can call tomorrow but sure they are going to say the same thing.

    For those that want ORI's I have 3 sets in route to me right now so no wait time. They are all black struts.

    For anyone interested I can vouch that these things are the shit. I waited for what seemed like forever to get mine and it has totally been worth it. Been down to Mexico twice in the last three weeks and have put a serious beating on them. I thought I was hitting them a little hard because other shit was getting damaged or breaking but that only reassured me that they were not going to fail. Somehow broke all the hose clamps off both sides of my rear icon reservoirs and had to zip tie them into place for the remainder of the trip, which surprisingly worked out better than I thought. Radiator bolts also came out, but thank god all the hoses and everything else kept it relatively in place. Gonna get it all tied back together this week and get back to work. Can't wait...:) Seriously though ORI struts are legit!!!

    I'm 8" mid travel right now. Jerry at BAMF designed a top hat that bolts rights into the stock bucket and it is bad-ass to say the least. Pretty sure the 10" works long travel though if that's what you're looking for and they only go up from there......Many Many options...

    I'm already envisioning some 16"s with some shock towers for my rears. My bank account isn't though :D

    No I only looking at a mid travel set up. Instead of buying fox coilovers or king I was thinking about getting these. That being said I know you have to fill these with nitrogen but how often do you need to do that? And how much more maint. is required with the struts?
    I agree with you id be bad A$$ to run these all the way around, maybe I could do the shock relocate mod and run some in the rear without heavy modifications to my bed.

    The ones i have are for mid travel. As for filling them it's not much unless you want to tinker with them mine have been set for 6+ months and I haven't touched them. That said a recommend a fill kit and a bottle as you never know if you will need it. As for the rear you would have the link yours in order to run them out back.

    Took them 11 weeks to get my resi's to me. Makes me wonder if they are swamped with orders since they seemed to be pretty good at getting them out in 8 weeks last year.
