    If you dudes had to order shock rebuild kits plus oil off a website where would you order from? The fucked thing is I have three brands of shocks on my truck...Icon, King, and Radflo... TIA.

    I ran fox blue last rebuild, what's the difference? Also can you upgrade the wiper assembly on king prerunner series shocks? I didn't realize what a pos the prerunner series was. They don't seem to last long before puking oil all over.

    ah yes, didn't think about that.



    the flat spots are horrible in the morning, it takes about 5 min of driving to get them to go away. especially on super cold days.

    Do you happen to have a zip tie on the shock shaft? I destroyed my wipers as well when I had large zip ties to meter my shaft travel. I replaced them with tiny ones and no problems since.

    IIRC fox blue is 5w semi-synthetic and red is 7w full synthetic

    No zippy ties. I think I will stick with Blue then, due to the cold weather up here. At -30F this thing rides like a freight train for about five miles until the oil warms up.

    For you that's not a bad plan. The red is a bit heavier but it holds up to heat way better. I don't think the race seal kits fit in the prerunner kings FYI. But I do think they have a better seal kit then what they come with.

    If you wanna spend some $$$ get the new 6.5" LED cannons, but the krageb red rings are the best bang for the buck.
