Lookin good Mike These MOA things are kind of dated now, you should have gotten the LCC. Check out my Skeeter thread for my current cost effective wheel solution.

it was a tossup between burg's and a LCC
i run my truck 100 times more than anybody i know and didnt think
the LCC would hold up to 3-4 hours, 3-4 days a week of non-stop crawlin. .

Well today i decided that my chassis was a little wide (2 7/8 outside to outside)
so i took 3/8 off the skid plate, now is 2 1/2 wide...
not sure that will matter any...

had a set of wheels that i got with my axles that are burg offset but didnt have any lok rings,,
so i took them off my Mayhem axial wheels
and mounted up a set of tires, now its at about 10 1/8 wide instead of
11 1/8 wide... looks ok now

Tires seem to rub the shock spring at full turn and pull the spring off the cup..
does anyelse have this problem??????

more pic's to follow later

Can you get your shocks upside down?
Easier to refill also.

but when they leak and they will thats puts the air in the beginning of the stroke, which is not good in my book....

Probably true on race cars/trucks but I honestly don't think it matters on crawlers. I care more about the rebound performance than the compression.

Air bubbles are always at the top, that's just physics, no matter which way you run the shocks. With the cap up at the top is really easy to refill when it's necessary.
I've been told the green slime really helps the cartridges but no first hand myself.

True, we all learned that at an early age in the bathtub.
