There weren't any on it, and the "custom" ones that came with it, needed to be kinda finished, so we finished them and there on. We put the ones off of the 2nd moto on it until we finished the other ones

Looks like it had a slight oil leak there maybe?

We're all confused I think.

I know that these are upside down. But I wasn't sure if DIRT was saying that these were on upside down or if he was saying that his were upside down.

The reason they are on upside down is because the plate above the lower mount that holds the spring hits the shock mounts on the A-Arms, so the shocks would never fully extend. But the shocks don't work right upside down from what Doug told us at Glamis.

I don't think the shocks are originally for a Dale but i'm not sure. We'll either cut a notch out of the shockmounts on the a-arms and find a way to restrengthin it. Or if possible, have a different shaft installed when we have them rebuilt, so the plate is farther away from the mount, but i'm not sure.:confused:
