Shocked

[R2D22]

Spent the last two days installing a blue max 50mm lift kit. My ute is just shy of 40k, occasionally tows, once and a while offroad. Was quite disgusted with the shockies i took off.
Compressed each shock and they all are still compressed except one that expanded 1inch whilst sitting in the sun for 3hrs.

Just needed a rant.

Haha 3 hrs in the sun!

The blue max is decent gear by my experience.

Yeah factory suspension is shite.

I changed out those pissy looking factory shocks at 250000ks haha. Felt like I was driving a limo with the new shocks. Limo and d22 don't get mentioned much in the same sentence but their ya go,its happened.

wow ,1/4 million kays...couldnt complain about that

 

[bods]

I can't even imagine how it must have felt before changing them at that many km... mine weren't even at 60k and the rears were shot. A bit like the photo above except they weren't feeling like expanding at all by themselves lol
