    So I am 5 hours from home and have a second day on the trails tomorrow lined up. I saw it leaking because the top screw nut was loose going to the hose. I tightened it up because it was hand loose. Am I good to go out tomorrow or should I not go off-road tomorrow? Pictures attached. I searched and saw other thread but didn't see if I was safe to drive.

    If it is slow speed trails you should be fine just be aware the loss of dampening on both the compression and rebound circuit will cause excessive body roll on that corner.

    I'm sorry I don't understand. Can you explain a little better please? It is slow trails. We are doing "Big Levels to the blue ridge ohv route. 17 miles near Waynesboro Virginia.

    Just don't know what they do. Would it just not flex? Don't care if it is rough ride as 4 wheel parts will fix as it is only 2 months old.

    Thanks in advance.

    When the shock loses oil it doesn't control body movement as well as it can normally. The truck will feel a little "looser" in the corner that has the blown shock. Slow speed trails will be fine it just may ride a little more bouncy. Keep the speeds down on the highway as well until it is fixed.

    But it won't sag down to the ground and make it unrideable? It will stay same height just not take the bumps?

    Bummer. Only 2 months old? Sadly this is pretty common for Icon.

    The springs support the weight of the vehicle. The shocks are there to solely control the rebound and compression.

    Sucks concidering what i paid for them. I read reviews on here but never saw this stuff. Maybe they will let me swap out? I've had the previous service visits to get this right. What should I go to? Kings?
