I didn't want to invert my shocks, they were installed per the Icon instructions. Silly me for reading the directions...

I was in a moving vehicle that was inverted once, but that's a different story.

Look an off road jeep with no shock boots. My jeep is black, except in this pic - so it does see mud from time to time. No shock problem to date. I am very certain that his Ex will be ok with out them on or off road.

No she seems to just chew things up and then spit the pieces out, and not swallow them. I was looking at them and when I decided I wasnt going to use them, I thought to myself, man, Luna would LOVE these things sure enough she does. She shakes them back and forth like she is finishing off a wounded bird and then chews em up. I dont know how much she ingested but it doesnt seem to have made her sick.
