What is that squeak? It reminds me of your afterspurt motorcrap front suspension squeak on your 350!

And was that a UFO I saw in the background? LOL :-)

Great video Dave! Maybe mount the camera just a few inches higher to get a better view over the front fender. Thanks for the entertainment! I like how the box muffles and changes the sound of your muffler. I also think the mud at the ending is a cool touch!

The black spot is the sun... beats the long strobe in other camera

Ahhhhhhh, Turbovision. In order to get ride of the squeke you could add music to the vids. Kinda like an old car turn up the radio louder and and it goes away. Maybe need to clean the hiems and lube with graphite and make sure the rest of the arms are lubed and ok. Also check the bolts at the mounts to make sure there tight.

The area looks rough and fun. Your shocks seam to be working good. Any thought between the fox airs and fox with springs, likes or dislikes.

I try to squirt everything down with my PB Blaster, but maybe the a-arms need more grease!
Maybe I need to find the graphite stuff instead???

I like the fact these have rezzies! I loved the way the air shocks rode, but after the long race, and the fading I experienced I knew I had to try something else... I have yet to ask the crew at Downsouth motorsports how hard it would be $$$ to add rezzies to the air shocks... $$$ is the deciding factor!
I think I lost 3/4 of an inch of travel going back to these but still more than stock! I am waiting to find out from Stoneman how his YODA Arms worked with the FOX Coilovers he had on his Max's PIlot!!!

Were you running the 0 weight oil in the FOX airs? mine originally came with 0 weight and I never noticed any fade, adding the reservoirs definitely took the heat out of the shocks after adding them I ran down about 5 miles of deep whoops at Ocala Florida (power line road) and back and was amazed how cool the body of the shocks were..

Check these guys for prices on the reservoirs http://off-roadproducts.com/2_0_air_shock.html
http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/pro ... 280&page=1

They were not that much more, you move the heat of compression out of the shock and into the reservoirs so the shocks run cooler.

Also you don't have to run a FOX reservoir if you find another brand cheaper they might work also, the fitting on the shock itself is I think 1/8" std. pipe threads, verify this before you buy lol, also post the link of the reservoirs before you buy, I think you will find the FOX cheap enough.

don't know if they would have enough volume I would have to look at my notes again to see how much volume the shaft consumes or how much oil it displaces, gut feeling tells me they are too small, where is Cowboy he is expert on these heh
