I like how nobody told me I had two of the same pic in that last update I posted. Oh well, now the right pic is in there of me holding one of the bumps.

Hmm... the strike pads on your stage 2 install are smaller then the ones on mine. From what I was told when running stock springs we needed the longer bump pad so we don't blow the shock tabs off.

Good catch! We put the strike pads on after the photos were taken. I have the short ones sitting in the center console of my truck right now.

How do you tell a shock is blown by just looking at it? I'm curious because I will be checking on mine more frequently now, but it looks brand new like the day I got it still.

I would look to see of there is any oil on the shock shaft. If your seals are blown it might show up there. Mine was so bad it could be compressed by hand and would not rebound at all.

Ahh ok. I didn't get the smaller ones with my kit. When the time comes to upgrade springs I'll have to remember to ask for them.
