Default Help identifying some shocks please!

I'm trying to identify some shocks that came with my Wraith. They're aftermarket, metal and leaking.
If I post the picture, my post will not appear and it says it has to be approved by a moderator. Am I on some kind of ban or something? Can someone help me sort this out? I just need some help with the shocks.
Thanks.

Post the picture through photobucket. It's a hassle but it works.

Kind of looks like "Integy" could be wrong.

The image results show different looking shocks for MSR 11's.

The giveaway is the way the brass insert is pushed into the top and bottom of the shock.

Why do you need to know who makes them? If they leak and you don't like them why not just buy better ones? I think the problem could be the shock cap bladder, if the caps were cranked on too tight it probably ruined the seal.

The problem is EXACTLY deformed shock bladders. 2 of the shocks have good bladders, and the caps can be made quite tight with perfect matched rebound and no leaks. The other two shocks have deformed bladders, and even with a light to moderate amount of tightness the bladders squish into the shock body making them useless.
Bladders are cheaper than new shocks, so I would like to overhaul the shocks before I write them off as no good. I need to identify the shocks so I can buy the right bladders and seals.
I am appreciative of all the help so far. I hope I can get to the bottom of this one soon as the snow's melting and its time to go out and get muddy!

I think Axial shock bladders fit almost all shocks. I have used them in some 3Racing shocks and I believe they fit Traxxas Big Bores too. As long as you know the diameter of bladder you should be good to go.

Good info. Thanks. Next time I go to refill them I'll take a measurement.
