yeah, i'll be doing something with the bladder for sure. I am getting too much articulation with my bodiless tvp; rear flat, one front is at 6.5" off the ground. I have internal sprung ...and to my laughter forgot oil so not only do i get torque twist on flat ground, i can't even manage a 508 incline, where as before i did all this, gunnar recorded me at 62*. it's like the R front just lifts way up...i'll be using 100 wt oil and trying droop and move the shocks a bit more out as right now they're setting at about 45* from the axle to the mounts on the chassis. even though this tinkering is fun, i am starting to wonder if I should hve just left well enough alone and kepts the drooped axials... 8-/

If you are worried about leaking if you dont use the bladder I just put a nice small bead of ca arround the base of the ballend on the top of the shock cap for just a little extra insurance. Plus the glue gives it a nice little transition so it looks almost stock.  |

I know you guys have said "MAXX" shocks. Does that include the old T-MAXX 3.3 shocks? I have been parting it out for other things, but I never thought about the shocks...  |
