I run mine upside down to slow the leakage. Still leaks, but not as fast.

Jeep looks good!

Looks good, I havent tried running mine upside down...Do you feel they dampen better upside down, or does the suspension just work better, aka free-er??

I run mine upside down. I have not noticed any difference. I like the cut on your Jeep body by the way.

I haven't noticed a performance difference either. And I've tried it on a few trucks. Back and forth. Cause I'm bored.

When you guys say it helps to run the shocks upside down, in what way?(besides slowing leakage)

I wish I could be bored like you . I get bored too, but it's because I am doing stuff I don't wanna. It's the "I gotta" stuff that bores me.

I did actually flip mine upside down to lower that weight just the little bit that it is. However, it is very tiny and unless you are willing to commit to lowering weight all around, this won't gain you much. A little, but not much.
