Does the rear shock boot go on the top, or the bottom? I don't want to break it, and the shock I have (a rancho 9000) looks like it could go either way
Some shocks have an imprint on them saying top or bottom or have an arrow pointing upwards. I know my rsx ones did so your 9000's probably do to.kubtastic said:Does the rear shock boot go on the top, or the bottom?

no I don't write porn articles
Actually it has to do with how they're valved and not as much as the absorbtion and pushing and pulling of the shaft.afjeep2082 said:more of the shock is absorbed because it doesn't travel through the shock body first thusfor absorbing the shock as the shaft goes up into the body as apposed to the body being pushed into the shaft.....
