Those are the EBay specials...in one word they are TRASH. I tried a little bit of everything to get them right on my Talion and eventually had to give up. I put a metal bearing on the outside to add more preload. I swapped in some Tekno springs. I added bladder cups in the top cap cause they don't come with any. When the shaft wasn't bending like yours they leaked badly...I mean REAL BAD from the top (even with the bladder cups) and from the bottom onto the shaft. I noticed oil buildup in the bottom that attaches to the arm. I finally gave up after about 3 sets. They look good though...but they work terrible and I don't even jump my cars cause I'm a street basher. They couldn't even handle that. Only good part on them is the springs and that's iffy at best. After numerous crashes and total carnage I learned the hard lesson that your suspension setup can prevent a ton of other damage just by optimizing the handling and driving characteristics of your vehicle. These shocks are a NO NO...I'd go back to something stock and tweak your oils and and springs. The extra money for stock shocks will save you plenty money down the line by preventing crashes due to bad handling.So I purchased this big bore shocksd for my Vorteks and typhon and had them like two weeks and I see the right front shock got bent I haven’t bash on them yet..loljust run them on the street..and put 50W oil on them..so I need change the oil? So where I bought them at refund me the money and purchased the high performance big bore shocks with 4mm shaft so does anybody know if I’m putting the right oil shocks? Or maybe adjusting them? What u guys opinion? Thanx
