    Had them about a year and they were installed by a reputable shop. Noticed a clunk today and walk to the back of the truck, to my surprise...shock missing its top bolt! Came as part of the 2inch lift kit.

    Wow not good. Hopefully, the manufacturer will make it right

    I hope so too. Frankly the truck is primarily road driven with frequent weekends on mild forest service roads. With about 10% towing thrown in. I sent OME an email but I am not sure if I should wait and roll shockless or find some other set to go on the rear.

    Well, I'm just shocked this would happen and hope you get a rapid rebound from the vendor.

    Hopefully this is a one time jolt and doesn't put a damper on OME sales, if so I'm sure they will recover quickly.


    :sorry: I'll see myself out now.
