Who needs years of TAFE and schooling when you have guys like this presenting in a way that is super easy to follow and actually retaining the information being shared in such an impactful way, being visual? Thank you for this share!
For the unknowledgeable such as myself, it would help to frist point and state "these are king shocks". Love me a good call out video from someone that does the job right. Keep up the great work!
I think the best of them is that ox locker, reliable unlike air lockers (o rings will fail) and e lockers (drive them through mud or pothole full of water and all its sensors go haywire). and also that torsen one is bulletproof too. to me all of them have Achilles heel except these two
So I should lift my 5th gen 1 1/14 to 1 1/2 inch in the front leave the rear alone and call it good? I was looking to do kings 2.5 front and rear from you guys.
100% recommended electric locker, the amount of air leaks that air lockers have is incredible, they should be redesigned, the main problems are the pipe is always scraped even if they install it well it moves, the pipe breaks due to the close coupling to the actuator , the seals do not last, the oil rises through the air line
Man wish they made OX for a hilux n70. TJM which was the superior air locker has ceased production due to sourcing issues leaving ARB, Heaton e lock or a true track.
Can be almost 1k (total) for a complete rebuild depending on shock size and damage. Still usually less than buying brand knew. My bilsteins were something like 1k each. When the time comes i will just have them rebuilt. Buy once cry once.
I love my bilsteins but in typical German fashion they make them unservicable. I'm on my 3rd set of 5100s on my lifted escalade. It's my winter beater and it sees plenty of rust belt dipping sauce. I change them out every 3 to 5 years when they start to look nasty. I've had to cut them off everytime. They made those nylon lock nuts a 1 time use nut. The little 4mm stub they give you to hold onto to attempt removing the nut is a joke. Instantly crumbles or rounds off Instantly. Hopefully this is the last set I'll ever need. I've grown to love this old truck and she's getting a full build/restoration.
With y'all loved that vid but I will say a simple spanner for most coilovers would get that cap off without maring the cap. Small potatoes but yeah they weren't wrong on that one
A profesional shop woyud have the specialty tool ...i did when i was running my buddies off road shop ....no excuse for being dumb and arrogant 😂 just buy the tool and be professional aout it ..if i got my shocks back in that condition there would be one hell of a lawsuit
