I saw some guys added a drain plug or suck the fluid out of the fill port. This time I wanted to be able to clean everything up since it's a new to me sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you want them to do for you (how you roll) but, just rebuild what’s on there. Maybe keep an eye open on HCS. Some really good deals on shocks pop up every now and then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 5 hours ago, Jimmy Snacks said: So are these X Package KYBs a decent upgrade over the stock TNT shocks? 200 bucks for the pair. Those are a slight upgrade over your stock KYB shocks. Basically they have adjustable rebound dampening, that's about the only difference. The compression side is still fairly soft for most people. As Zam said, if they are brand new fresh then worth $200. If you need more compression dampening than stock then you need to go inside anyway so that means you will be into them for $300+ before they are right for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hand tighten those torx though...with a small ratchet. They'll strip out if you try to overtorque and could crack the case. Go by hand at first so you get the feel. Then you can go to an impact drill like me and round a few out! 7 hours ago, AKIQPilot said: You're a little whiter than I remembered......... More of a cheapass too. Hot dog stick for a spring puller? What kind of shit exhaust springs is AC using these days. HOW DARE YOU CALL ME WHITE!!!!!!!!! I origninally did the puller for a tough to reach doo spring if I remember right, then...realized it was faster than my regular one. WIN! Yuh...always been "cheap" as I get older, I'm getting cheaper and less tolerarant. Not sure why on the "cheap" part but know why on the "less tolerant" part. 37 minutes ago, f7ben said: Buy the braces Drew posted before you spend a penny on any thing else. Did you look to make sure the thing isnt already bent????? Yeah...braces are a gpod idea if it is going to be experiencing anything off trail but most certainly not a cure all. A buddy put them on his and hit an ice ridge and, well....he rode it back without issue but,insurance companty "totalled it" because of two mods being bent. Yuh...ouch. On trail, it should be ok. I never put them on mine but, I should have. Those things are awfully "bendy". Also, @Jimmy Snacks, like Benny said, not a bad idea to take a look to make sure you aren't "tweaked" a bit already. Take a good look around where the A-arms are attached. Look for symmetry between the sides. Check real good for "ripples" around the mounts. They aren't as thin as they are made fun of to be BUT....lightweight comes at a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 All you gotta do is measure the shock distance between arms on both sides and compare. If its bent the measurements will be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a 30 Torx and pull the one bolt for the seat to pull that "bat wing" off there for better access. That think is a PIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
