[Madcowranch]

But wait. It gets better.

Look where it's been hitting my shock.

and it gets worse for national. that shock is toast

 

[Madcowranch]

Yeah that tube is completely crimped off.

other than a loose clamp what am i looking at?


contact with bump stop


agreed performance over longevity. they still shouldn't fail at this rate, 1k miles of hard baja race, yeah they could be done for, but not 8k miles of highway use with an empty bed

take a photo of the shackle orientation

Agree, 8k way too soon. Makes me wonder how the quality control is over at the national house.

But wait. It gets better.

Look where it's been hitting my shock.

Damn that sucks! You can't just replace the tube either, don't you have to get a complete new shock body?

 

[Madcowranch]

So how the hell does that happen?

The other side has the tubes turned away from the leaf.

Driver's side has the tubes turned toward the leaf. WTF? Is there a way to install the shock wrong?

 

[Huck]

fox can replace it possibly, its welded on. but this is an rpg / national issue for that shock.

Give Corey a call/email with supporting documentation. I bet he will take care of you.
