    I used an angle grinder with a large and thin cutting disk. Blew threw those damn bolts real quick.

    Welcome I moved here from Florida as well. Best decision ever! Sorry to hear you are moving to Boulder.:crazy: I would check out poudre canyon for camping, it's perfect weather up there for camping.

    Thanks! Yeah mostly chose Boulder just for quick access to recreation, I'm big into biking and hiking. Will probably be there just for the summer, especially with the "assault weapons" ban they are close to passing. I'm looking at some possible trails and Mammoth Gulch looks pretty nice. I just have no idea what will be open since its pretty early in the season.

    Thanks for the suggestions so far! Through brute force and several beers I was able to unseize the bolts. Except for the one on the shackle to move it to the new pack. Goddamit.

    Mine blew within a yer too.
    Currently using generic emulsion shocks with excellent luck. But I also relocated my stuff.

    I have a set of used Rancho's that will fit in place of the Nitrochargers if you want them
    Also have one still good nitrocharger that you can have as well.
    for a few beers...

    I might be interested in the nitro charger. I just hit up headstrong off-road about replacing it under warranty.

    Now I’m dreaming of a relocation with Kings hahaha

    I'm from Boulder, best place to live in the front range if you like climbing/hiking/biking super close. I was up at Mammoth Gulch and Rollins pass last week and it was mixed. Mammoth had a good amount of snow and it was super slick and soft. Rollins had a big snow bank a ways up the trail that we didn't try to make it through, otherwise it was mostly just muddy. It just snowed earlier this week, the weather's been warm but the high country got nuked on Tuesday/Wednesday so just take that into consideration. Good luck!

    2ft of snow or 85 and sunny... This is Colorado not Texas, so it could be anything.
