    I say that for the guarantee that someone buys these and heads to Glamis for the weekend in his new race truck.


    But I guess thats no different than any other shock...



    these are stock travel race series shocks... Correct?

    The IBP could , depending on the second pistons valving, put a hurting on the stock buckets. Still BA for them to shove a 3.0 in there. Will it fit the 2nd gen's?

    length if they made them specific to the 3rd gen as they sit 1" higher than the 2nd. Or coil bucket width to fit the 3.65 OD springs.

    I dont think they would limit the market that much and make them specific, most likely just a marketing thing to target the newer trucks by listing 16+ but I dont know for sure. Coilbucket adaptor would be the same between the 2.

    Why do you need the extra tubes instead of an "internal bypass" shock? I am both serious and ready to be flamed, but I'd appreciate if you could mix a link or some useful info in with the burns plz

    My understanding is that internal bypass you loose fluid capacity because it is internal. With the external tubes you keep the capacity while still getting the bypass tuning options. I could be wrong though.

    What was the damage? Or I should say how bad was the damage and did it drive out if there under its own power?
