Re: The Colorado BS thread
Getting ready to weld me some coil buckets back in place of these glorified air shocks ... The two in the read are used the fronts were bought new . I recall the fronts during the initial install would not go beyond 10-12 inches on extension until I bled the lowers of a little oil...I called tech staff on that since I thought it off they only went out that far . At the time they were two months old , so I finished the front and while doimg the rear I noticed they appeared to lock up and would not extend when truck was lifted from the body .
Anywho my issue is I charge them up as per the ori fill procedure and after flexing it out for a few minutes it will sit lower on the driver side and if I drive it around it will slowly start to list to the driver side until I'm at near full extension on the driver side ... I don't really want the trouble shooting game here with possible mysterious onternal seal leaks, so I'm either ditching these for standard coils and bypass shocks or a set of 2.5 coil overs . I will most likely send these into ori to see if there is an internal issue with any of the 4 ...if they find issue I may run them and if they f-up in less than a year ...boom... they're gone .
