Thanks, yeah the guy is doing a legit job, he beveled all the edges and sandblasted the leafs before coating, he ended up machining me new greasable bushings and coated the shackles and sleeves. The sleeves he also re made with a larger wall thickness because he found the deavers bushing sleeves...
I am in the process of the rear leafs being fully prepped and Teflon coated... they just got done with the coating ... I'm pretty stoked hopefully I'll have them tomorrow to report back.
Seems like just last month I installed these for the last time, pulled pre prep:
Modified the CAS pearch and the axles are hanging in there now with 14" of stock width travel. Also I did do the IWE delete so we will see how the axles last now.
Yeah ypurs are definitely different than mine, I have the version where the spring seat is not threaded.
The part that hits is the base flange, I'm going to machine it down at an angle when I change my springs out here in a few weeks.
I Reused the original o ring.
I did have some top out issues with the CAS ...but my g2 shocks have the internal spacer reduced to a 3/8" one from the oem 1".
I did POR and constantly spray them with all sorts of random stuff from amzoil hd, silonce lube, chain lube, wd40 pretty much anything... the battle never stops.
Got the last, (for now) gusset in for the bump and tossed the bed on, bypass rack installed.
numbers:
Metal to metal travel: 20.5"
Shock Motion ratio: 1.17:1
Shock travel (Internally limited): 17.5"
Rear up travel: 9.36"
Waiting on some extended rear brake lines
The Best way is for you to measure the amount of fluid you remove if you want to get them to operate the same as before you rebuild them.
If you add more fluid and less nitrogen the bump with have a softer ramp up to max pressure. Example 200cc fluid 50cc compressed camber for nitrogen
If...
It would appear he is sprung under Also the shock looks to be on a trailing link which explains the travel. But, also its probably no more uptravel that what im doing as he still has the frame in place.
Actually seems like kinda a good price...
Also just a wee bit more progress:
