If you want black or other colors 4 wheel shops have them available. Just FYI.

Not normal usually. How long have you had them on?

Thanks!

Another.. I don't climb under the truck. I can reach right in through the wheelwells and adjust them that way. The rear shocks I do get them from under the X.

Live in Colorado and has lived in Colorado all of its life. I thought it was strange since Colorado is so dry rust is normally not a problem. Previous owner installed them, not sure how long they have been on.

Inmates are those white? (they look to be white) If so those are probably close to 5 years old, FYI. I am in CO to and have had the silver ones on my Super Duty (which I hit with a clear coat) and no rust!

Also out here, as you know, mag chloride is nasty stuff!!
