    Where's everyone getting there shock oil?

    I can't quite remember, but how much oil should it take for (2) 10" 2.5 coil overs and bypasses?

    I am running fox, any suggestions on what oil to use?
    I hear they don't sell the blue shock oil anymore, just the red race oil?

    I use the red oil Sway A Way uses. I buy from the shop as they have a 55 gallon drum of it.

    1 gallon should fill 4 2.5" coilovers. Not sure if bypasses take a little more. I would buy 2 gallons just to have some for next time, or for the rear.

    You'd probably get by with 2 gallons for the 4. Fox no longer uses blue, they have switched everything to their red.
    let me know if you need it, we have plenty.

    Well, I'd need enough for two coil overs and bypasses up front, then two bypasses out back. So four gallons? How much does each bypass take typically? 2.5 10" up front and 2.5 16" out back.

    3 gallons at most. A gallon will do one set of 16" bypasses with a little left over, 2 gallons would be cutting it close I think

    I would add another gallon for the rears. so 3 gallons total for the 4 fronts and 2 rears.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Agreed. I can do my 16" rears with 1 gallon with a little to spare. And it takes 1 gallon to do all 4 of my front 8" shocks with a little to spare. I think 3 is plenty unless he is rebuilding bumps too.

    Jimco built the basic chassis. everything else is being built in the garage. Been at it since October. We finished the final tab work on Tuesday. The aluminum paneling is almost done. Next is the plumbing.
