[QUOTE="mictouch, post: 404229, member: 2514"] As far as the stock shocks being BLOWN... I have pulled apart many sets and NEVER seen a BLOWN stock shock. In fact, I've only seen one shock that had a leaky o-ring and it lost 30 - 40cc of oil. The biggest culprit is leaking nitrogen. Inspect the shock and look for moisture, or mud. It is normal to see a little moisture where oil might be passing an o-ring around the steel body to the Aluminum cap. Not to worry this is totally normal. The nitrogen can be checked fairly easy and if it is low refill it back to 200 psi. If you see a big drool of oil and/or a puddle of mud around the front shocks then you will need them to be serviced. The rear shocks are easy to remove and depress the shock on the floor - it should take all your body weight plus some and an initial grunt to get them to move. They will only depress 2/3 of the way before the valving hits the bump zone and this will take A LOT more force than you can push by hand to depress the shock shaft past this point. Same with the front shocks if you remove them from the truck and remove the coil spring. The same force should be needed to depress them. Once the shock is refilled with nitrogen properly – you should be good to go! Try to keep them clean and check the nitrogen once a year if possible. I hope this helps.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Yeah, thank you! Just lots of family medical issues!
