Running shocks upside down?

Whats the benefit of running them upside down?

Sometimes it reduces leaks I think.

Technically, it also moves the weight down for a very slightly better COG.

Short of Comp Crawlers, I never cared for the look personally. That said, I can see there may be a slight benefit towards COG as durok pointed out. And, gravity being what it is, I'm sure it might mitigate some shock seepage as well.

it can help with clarence issues

i realy hate that guy clarence always causing issues

If they do it because the shocks leak then they need to rebuild them correctly or get new shocks.

You will never feel the CG difference in doing this.

Its actually a bad thing to do with the type of shocks we use. You put your pistons in the/closer to the air pockets and weird things happen at the wrong time.

Now, that's purt damn funny, right thar'.......................... :lmao:

Gawl-darn it, Clarence!

Lol. I shop the Clarence aisle when I go to the store. Only Clarence I really cared for. Clarence is needed though. Lack of Clarence is bad.

Who is Clarence? And why is he causing issues?

Surely that would depend on how much static sag you run the shocks at & whether you'd rather find the air bubbles at full compression (shock right way up) or full extension (shock upside down)

It can reduce leak on crappy shocks. :ror: "thumbsup"

Back in the 2.2 shafty comp days I balanced the shocks at different shaft compression settings and in general found that it usually slightly raised cog, quickly turned them proper side up.

Yes, always need clearance Clarence! :ror:"thumbsup"

Agreed, that's the other thing I found was the shock piston air pocket coincided much more often and adversely affected their performance.

Dang idjits! :ror: "thumbsup"

Yes.
