Rock Krawler maintenance & All brands suspension general conversation

I’m not sure if mine are blocked, but they need to be fully extended to charge them. Unbolt the bottom and rotate the stock slightly and you should be good.

How do you know if you need to recharge your shocks?

It’s tough without disconnecting one and. I usually charge mine about every 9 months.

They will start weeping more and the ride will get squishy…… sorry to break out the technical terminology…….

Thanks @word302 and @Roky. So I’m dumb. What are they charged with?

I ran 75 in mine, but it’s a touchy feely thing, let your butt decide …….

They come with 100 from the factory. I usually start there and bleed them off 5psi at a time until they feel right. Think I ended up at 90 in the front and 80 in the rear last time.

Just got back home from Beasley Knob and noticed this. I’m still trying to figure out how the hell it happened. Perfect rock, I guess.

I’ve actually seen that once before, a 1-1/2” washer will keep that from happening again……

I’m currently testing the MC links, to see how they work on my setup…… so far , not impressed….. one thing they got going for them is they’re cheap, only 50.00……

Price was the easy sell. They came with a washer, but the instructions show them on the tab side, I remember being a little puzzled when installing. The rears show it on the bolt side.

Lol, the no limits were in the cart until I decided the price was just so different.

Worth every penny for my rig……but I get they’re not for everyone……….

If I didn’t buy everything twice, it’d be a lot cheaper, lol.

Only running a little over 9” of front shock travel now. If Bushwacker ever ships my new flares, hoping to pull an inch of bump, and still planning driveshaft and more droop. If these can’t handle what I have, worried they’ll do even worse with more.
