I took the front clip all the way off cuz I was already doing gusset kit. Measured all the way up to the corner of the plastic and drew a clean line all the way across. I used a DEWALT multitool with half moon blade to cut it out. Then the dremel sanding wheel to clean it up. I cut more than frank did and one shock shows scuff mark at full compression.

Once you accomplish the shock swap and torque down the top and bottom bolts, at the top mount when torqued down if you grab the reservoir, is it normal to wiggle back and forth? Even when tightened down? I notice the shock has a bushing in the top loop mount

Yo G, is there a left and right for the shocks. I put ST springs on and noticed the rebound screw is on the front side. In your video they are on the back side. I did not flip the shocks, OEM position.

Rebound position doesnt really matter. U can literally take a screwdriver and rotat the lower shock eyelet 180 degrees. The shock body does matter and has a left and right. When u flips shocks around u have to swap shocks left to right

Can u do a how to on a smart shock version👍🏼

They can be flipped. You must swap connections. And at the bottom of the shock. It needs to be rotated 180 degrees. Some have done it without any issues

I love your videos, Frank! I flipped my shocks on my 2021 Smart Shox with no problems. Like you say, you have to rotate the bottom 180 degrees so the wiring will be to the inside. I cut out the plastics to about 1/4-3/8" and could see they were hitting the decal a little bit after some jumps in Stoddard Valley. I have since trimmed it to about 1/8" and went a lot wider with the cut. If you just put the top shock bolt in and lift the bottom of the shock, you can see how wide you have to go. Going to Dumont this weekend and will see if it has enough clearance. Thanks for the videos. I have watched most of them! :)

posssilby in the future, but basically the only added steps are disconnecting process. then disconnect shocks at chassis harness. when you swap shocks left to right you just have to rotate the lower shock eyelet 180 degrees. and thats it

I have a huge impact with over 1100 lbs of breaking force and even that won't get it loose. I have no idea why the factory would ever tighten these bolts this tight. Really frustrating. I've even got a breaker bar and a friend and we can get it loose. Watching you effortlessly remove yours is annoying. Lol
