    Definitely think the huck was intentional, just not the rough landing

    Yea probably. One hell of a buck on that rear though. Definitely could use some weight and tuning.

    lol yup. We rode around shortly after.
    Yeah we hit the bumps/jumps and my friend says "Hey want to try and get air off that?"
    Yeah trying to figure out the tuning. I gotta find a day to pop them open and see what's in there.

    Truck seems fine. I drove it around for atleast 2 more hours in Gorman, drove it home and been driving it to work and back. I got whiplash that I didn't notice till I woke up on Monday and that's starting to go clear up tonight.
    lol yeah. We noticed it was gone and watched the video it said "bye bye". That little piece of plastic has been holding on for dear life for over 2 years.

    Oil, piston, seals, wiper, shim stacks. The stacks are what you adjust to change your rebound and compression rates. Then you use the bypass tubes to fine tune each zone.

    Think he meant what's in there in terms of valving already :anonymous: Besides that hit they looked pretty good in the video considering being out of the box that way.

    Yeah. I tuned my old smoothies and front coilovers. But I always tested to see where they were at and how they performed before opening them up to mic the shims.
