I bought the 5100's

 

Damn I guess!

 

then your getting the shiny silver ones...


lol poor rick... age is catching up to you...

 

Yeah I don't like the yellow ones...

 

it was a night and day difference when i did mine... i think the ones i pulled off had to be on there since the truck was first assembled.. they sure didnt want to come off.. and sure didnt work anymore since i could compress them and they wouldnt expand again...

 

i love the yellow color.. black and gold black and gold black and gold lol

main reason i didnt go with the 5100 was cuz everywhere i was looking they were listed for vehicles with lifted suspension.. mines stock so didnt feel i needed them.. but apparently people with stock suspensions have been running them...

 

They have different lengths... I got the ones for stock to 2" lift.. They have others up to 6" lift

 

the shock there had been sitting there for 10 mins while i went looking for the new ones.. (someone moved my box of parts essentially hiding them on me..) had it been a somewhat good shock it would have expanded back out long before i got out there... heck i shouldnt even had made it off the ground without it re-expanding..

when i cut the strap so i could get the new shock into the axle notch to put in the lower bolt the thing rocketed out.. had to use the jack to get it compressed enough to get the bolt through it... ntm in the bracket.. since it missed it...

 

wasnt till after i bought them that i found ones that said stock in the 5100.. all the ones i was finding prior were ones with descriptions for vehicles with 2-4" lifts.

 

That's why they needed replacing..LOL

 

I was having that problem too..LOL

 

yup... made for a more comfortable ride too.. thought it was supposed to be rough.. it smoothed way out after the shock change..

 

That's why I'm replacing mine..

Been feeling the potholes more...

 

Well time for me to call it a night..

I have to get up early to return this computer..TTYL

 

Good night Don TTYL bud.
