WOW are these some big shocks! Note the o-ring piston, the thick o-ring down-travel bumpers, machined and vented spring perch, and massive shock shafts. The seal cartridge is held together by a snap ring, and the cartridge body is aluminum. The reservoirs are functional. Good luck blowing these bad boys out! A set of four will run you $120, or you can buy them separately for $33 each (just in case you need a shock for your Honda CR125 or something).

Integy has aluminum everything for the LST series and other popular vehicles, and the site lets you sort by vehicle make and model. Have a look.

Hate to be the buzz kill here, but I've yet to encounter a set of these shocks that haven't leaked. 3 out of the four that I installed on my Revo bled out within a day. The LHS/track that I frequent spent quite a bit of time trying to cure a leaking set for a customer that bought the LST setup. They've encountered several since, but won't work on them anymore. It's really too bad - they're one of the hottest looking shocks on the market.

I've had these shocks on my lst for a while now and I haven't had any issues. Are these shocks any different from the ones that came out last year?

what's the point of the reservoir...is there any kind of adjustments for the rebound like in mountain bikes or something like this?

I can't even see your shocks underneath all of that mud.

Where are they leaking from? I had a set on an all custon/carbon emaxx and they didn't leak at all.

Make sure you don't have too much oil in the reservoir. When you 1st push the shaft through the seals make sure you have some oil on it so the seals are not damaged.

When I put the integy piggy backs on my mgt, I overfilled them. Only I didn't realize it till I landed a big jump, and blew out a shock. Then I noticed a couple of other ones were leaking. So the moral of the story is...don't overfill them, and they won't leak. Also, you don't need super heavy shock oil in these either. 40wt should be fine on the LST for bashing. I use 40wt on the MGT also. And I haven't had any issues since.

Your truck looks pretty cool. You should take some high-res shots of it with the body-on and email them to me and I will try and get them into Readers' Rides.

[awnelson]

Sweet, now does someone know where I can buy oil by the gallon so I can fill these?

[Paul Onorato]

Wow :wow: OK Paul, I'll do that asap.
