I Blew a Shock!
Well I decided to mess around the other day and do some poser flexing LOL. When I got home and was doing something under the rig, I noticed oil leaking from my driverside rear shock, I blew the shock! It wasn't like that before the poser flexing so compressing the driver side must have blown it.
When I put on the downey coils, I wanted to get as much advantage from them as I could so I put an eyelet mount for the top of the shock (to use a more variety of shocks) and used a different length shock. So I must have not done the proper measuring.
For a replacement, I think I might put in some Bilstein 10" or 12" travel 5100's, and totally rework the upper mount to get the most flex.
Here is a pick of my poser flexing (big pic)
