Stock VS Aluminum Shocks

[Stygian]

Before I go and order aluminum shocks I thought I was ask if there is a big difference between the stock and aluminum?

 

[GTS 666]

The stock shocks are aluminium and oil filled.

 

[Stygian]

So whats the difference in the two type of shocks totally confused now

One has a reservoir for extra oil to cool shock better.basically same shock i would leave em just fine tune with oil and springs...

Ya stick with stock shocks no need for the reservoir. A better upgrade would be Baja shocks

Can you get different springs for the MT. Or if I want the 5B shocks I just order 4 front 5B shocks for all 4 corners of the MT?

 

[Guest]

The front Baja springs fit the rear MT shocks.

The rear Baja springs (longer section) fits the front MT shocks.

 

[Stygian]

are the baja shocks actually that much better than the MT aluminum ones?

 

[Guest]

No, but it lets you fine tune your suspension. The Baja shocks are available in soft, med, & firm.

 

[Stygian]

aahh ok that's good to know.

What shock oil is recommended for the stock MT shocks? How full should they be? Had one come loose yesterday.

40 works good for bashing.

You can go by this for filling.
