Mack Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Turned out that I went to the stealer to measure min/max lenght of OEM shock abs and I found out they extend by them selfs as they are with gas inside. I thought LR shocks were 100% oil filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There must be some gas filled reservoir in there as when you compress the shock the body of the shock has to accommodate the extra volume of the ram as well as the piston and the oil.

Ex Member Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 All shocks have gas in them. Some are pressurized. The pressurizing helps prevent the oil from gasing off when it get really hot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
