    They do make a retrofit kit for the guy who already has shocks. These things are rad. The ability to change so much with out taking the shock apart.
    They are offered in different length reservoirs, and the only other thing you need to retrofit is a 90 degree fitting.

    Curious to hear your review on them, I know other comps have adjusters but in my experience the change to compression is minimal and maybe not really worth the added expense.

    Or light Racing UCA's, unless you really bend something. IIRC the light racing's can do 6 or 8 degrees of caster and 3 or 4 degrees of camber adjustment, on the 2nd gens anyway. Not sure about 1st gens.

    That is flopping around the ball joint at the spindle. I do not think that is an infinite adjustment, it is like a 4 position thing so you would not be able to align the truck with just those

    They retail at 299. per res and you need a 15$ fitting. PM me if you are interested in TW pricing.

    I agree that with other adjusters you see minimal differences, but these allowing for high and low speed changes... I think these are going to be worth every penny!

    Yeah it wouldn't be as good as having heimed uppers. But it's not wasting money on doing heimed uppers for an MT setup.

    I'm planning on setting my alignment when I redo my front end and once it is set how I like it I'm going to weld my cams down. Then if the alignment ever gets messed up so much that my LR UCA's can't bring it back to spec, well I have bigger problems than my alignment being off I'd bet.

    So thumb knobs vs a small wrench and allen wrench? maybe im clueless but is that going to make that big of a difference over a current bypass more over proper valving?

    No just makes it easier to make small adjustments for different terrain.

    All it does is restrict the flow going in to the resi. I would see how it could do something, but the amount of oil that is moved into the resi during compression is not that much. Its nothing compared to the amount of oil running through the valve stack, so I would assume it is a very slight adjustment at best
