Had a great time out there and was great meeting everyone. Can't wait to go back. Its also really amazing that a 13 year old truck with 150k can drive 1000 miles, then rip around the desert for 300 miles and then drive 1000 miles home with no issues. You really can't beat these gen 1's.

The Gen 2 shocks are very difficult to rebuild. The top cap is 2 pieces. the outer ring holds the body and you only need to loosen that one. The center cap threads into the bypass tube. Also, be sure to put some tape at the base of the body as you unthread the center cap. The body is just...

Thanks for confirming. i can add that 1% back. After thinking about it and talking to some other guys, i'm not sure an aluminum body is worth the effort. I am contemplating a remote reservoir for the OEM fronts similar to the King and Fox 3.0 replacements. Routing the line might be...

I have a 2011, no recall but i do have the CSP 19N01. I called one dealer but they can't get me in until Aug 20, so i called another one and they said they can't do the work unless i have a check engine light or the wrench light. Anyone have any success with the CSP and getting the work done...

The threaded hole is in the perch so the set screw has no idea what perch it is at, it just keeps the perch from spinning. Likely the screw was seized and had to be drilled out and they never re-tapped it and put a new one in. i've had to drill out several set screws on my rebuilds but i...

they will physically fit if you use the gen 1 top hats and springs. However the shocks are longer so if you bottom or top out you run the risk of damage. If you only drive the road, you're probably fine, but any off roading or using full travel will likely cause damage at some point.

I agree the fins will help, i'm just not sure how much it helps on the reservoir. There is mostly N2 in that cylinder and most of the oil is in the main body, so you'd really need fins on the body and not the reservoir. Maybe the rear you could do that but probably not the front shock...

The perch needs to fit over the top of the shock body so the OD is limited by the perch. I suppose you could use the gen 2 perch but you're still limited to a 3" OD body. I'd have to run the numbers to see if that works. I don't have the actual dimensions of the gen 1 steel bodies but I'm...

so i just thought of something that just killed this idea. if you increase the body diameter, the perch will no longer fit. Guess we're stuck with our steel bodied hot shocks.

Agreed. the Gen 1 shocks i've opened were always low on oil and the oil was toast. The gen 2 shocks i've opened looked brand new. It'd be cool to put a gauge on the the shock and try to compress it on the truck and see what the pressure jumps up to. Should be fairly easy to size an Al tube...

i've rebuilt Gen 2 shocks and i'm 99% sure the body is Al, but never did the magnet test. They are NOT threaded though, that i know for a fact. The bypass tube is threaded and the upper and lower caps thread into that. Anyone with a gen 2 shock care to try to stick a magnet to the body?

It would be easier to just do the Gen 2 conversion buckets however the Gen 2 shocks are a PIA to rebuild so I’d have to send them out whenever i needed a rebuild. I like the ease of rebuilding Gen 1 shocks but the clean up and corrosion are also a PIA

I wasn’t looking to reinvent the Gen 1 shock, just changing the outer steel body to aluminum to help with corrosion and heat dissipation. All other internals would be the same. Machining a threaded tube would be fairly simple and maybe cheap?

Hear me out. The gen 1 shock bodies are steel which accounts for the horrible corrosion and I'm guessing they hold heat a lot better than the gen 2 aluminum shocks (heat=bad). The gen 2 shocks are an aluminum body and bigger diameter and thinner wall tube and have much less corrosion and the...

Also, check the tapered shims on the shocks. I've seen shops not install those correctly. there should be one on top of the shock bucket directly under the 3 nuts that hold the shock to the bucket. the other one is on top of the shock hat which is not visible with the shock installed. You'll...

Still have several available ready to ship.

Shocks by Hammer or TSW offer exchanges. Buy shocks from them and send in your old ones when you swap them out. Probably the most cost effective option out there.

I have the first batch of Gen 2 brake lights back from machining. One with included cargo lights and one with S2 cargo lights. These should be available in a week or so

Here's a few pics of the gasket. its .250" thick closed cell foam

I don't have an RPG one so i can't make their gasket. I'd ask one of the vendors if they can sell just the gasket.

Bump. still have a few left
