    Just received a pair to level the front and one of them looks like this. Bought them from toytec. My OCD is making me question in it. Have you guys seen in it? Is it alright or maybe it was refurbished? Appreciate the feedback.

    They may be different part numbers. The spacing for the snap rings appears to be different too.

    It looks like they put a crimped on that tube. Didn't notice anything like that with my Billy 5100.

    Same part numbers, height rings and length of the shock identical. Posted this on Facebook and this guy who bought his 2016 asked the dealer to level it for him and his front driver side shock has the exact same thing. Makes me feel a bit better but i still wrote an email to Toytec to see what they say.
