IMO, there's nothing wrong with the factory plug.It's been installed, I can't exchange it. I'm debating just going with the factory plug. This was supposed to be less hassle, but no, can't have that.

This is just easier to deal with, with the Shrock skid installed. But honestly I don't think it'd be THAT big a deal with the factory plug.IMO, there's nothing wrong with the factory plug.
Exactly why I bought mine, buddies recommended with shrock Skid but I didn't fret with factory plug so never bothered install.This is just easier to deal with, with the Shrock skid installed. But honestly I don't think it'd be THAT big a deal with the factory plug.
It was recommended by a couple buddies that run the Shrock skid.
Since it's just in front of the spring, that tells me it's from torque. Which makes me more interested in putting in a anti-wrap bar.It looks like they’re bending near the front attachment point. Do you think it’s from wheeling or something else?
I looked at the Fumoto a while ago but decided against it because of the length, it just seemed too long to me. I went with a Morimoto magnetic plug instead.Removed the Fumoto valve. Gonna stick with the factory plug.
Gimmick is gimmicky....
Was it like wheeling a different truck?First real run with the budget T-Swap was a success! It was a noticeable change but it's gonna take a little more wheeling to get used to the increased track width.
Also, I need to look into some protection for my LCA mounts.

It was for me.Was it like wheeling a different truck?
Not entirely different since my changes were pretty limited compared to Jay's, but it was a decided change in how it performed.Was it like wheeling a different truck?
Lowers? Cause you can buy replacements for like $30 and cut/weld.My rear shock mounts are trashed. I've got to decide what to do back there but I've got to save up some money to pay for that solution.....
Yeah, but with my current shocks I can raise the lower mounts for clearance and added droop because of my Timbren bumps being so long.Lowers? Cause you can buy replacements for like $30 and cut/weld.
Were these for Xterra (same as mine) or different? Mine are really close to bottoming out but only when my Timbren are very squeezed.I swapped on the Ironman4x4 shocks I got from Jon.
My Rads are a lot worse off than I thought. LOL.
So these are a little too long. Flexed, the bump stop on the shock and my Timbrens are both in contact. That's OK for articulation but in a full bottom out situation, I'm afraid the shocks mounts are going to take a pretty good hit.

I ordered some new shock mounts to fix my badly mangled ones and eliminate the need for shock skids as well.
When all that arrives I'll play with everything and see what I can manage. I may be going back to my Rads and selling these, but only time will tell.
Should be a part number stamped near the lower eye on the opposite side of the Ironman sticker.These were sold as 3-4" lift shocks for an Xterra by ADO before they stopped carrying them. Ironman won't reply to e-mails or answer the phone.
Chad from ADO doesn't remember what the specs were because it's been so long since they carried them.
Sweet. I'll look here in a bit and see.Should be a part number stamped near the lower eye on the opposite side of the Ironman sticker.

The part numbers on my shocks are 45728FE. They are for the Navara.Should be a part number stamped near the lower eye on the opposite side of the Ironman sticker.

Sittin tough..Got my SPCs installed today. Took all evening.
I was able to go up from the 1/2" thick spacer to the 1.5" thick spacer and gain around 3/4" of droop. I also dropped my coilovers 3 turns to lower the front down a bit. Gonna drive it a few days then maybe drop it two more turns.
Fully flexed, I'm on both my bump stop and the Radflo bumpstop so I'm going to put the uncut set of bumpstops on tomorrow just to have a little extra pressure on them vs the shock.

Wth?
Cable came off the shifter. Gotta dig in tomorrow and figure out what's broken/missing and if I can get it.Wth?
I know the bushing on the end of the cable up front can wear and leave you unable to get into park.
Awesome! Thanks man. No 3d printer so I'll have to try option #2 first I guess.More details here.
