[QUOTE="downforce137, post: 1988125, member: 19591"] i will say that the FRS shocks come with tiny washers that barely cover the slotted holes in the shock bucket.. it appears that the 3 pics he shows of cracking in the top of the bucket, were all FRS shocks, and maybe its the same truck from different angles but it appears to me that they are breaking thru from the bottom? i got some bigger washers for mine, and i hope it helps, but often the factory parts arent up to the long term effects of running off road. there are some options for shock buckets out there already. i'd rather not have to change them out.. lol i can see how a higher spring rate would pull the shock shaft thru the stamped steel, riveted top hat.. i think the SDI top mount is the best option for stock shocks, we'll see how it does. the 1.7in eibach springs were very close to the same spring rate as stock, but there was 2 sets at one time.. i didnt notice a paid promotion on the video, but surely its an ad, right? can never tell with that guy..
