Solo I'm wondering if those are the gas slx shocks, because Gabriel makes those in blue. Are they triple adjustable and gas charged?

Mine started leaking after a few weeks, and one seized solid on me.

No. I've had those you are talking, a wille ago, it's junk! This shocks fully hydraulic, no gas. Gas shocks are only good till not leaking, and i yet fail to see the one, that lastet in that capacity for more than a 50-60,000 miles. After that, it's not doing a job!

I think solo is referring to the RoadLeveler TruckMaster series.

• The TruckMaster by RoadLeveler is the ultimate high-performance shock. Offering up to
40% more ride-control power, this shock features urethane end bushings for longer life, specially
formulated high-temperature fluid, chrome piston rod, and a silicon coated piston ring, among
other well-designed components. A three-year warranty stands behind the TruckMaster shock.

Thanks for the response.

They are very expensive, I can't remember the exact price. Almost $300/ea with shipping. They are rebuildable, so that's a good plus.

How many miles are ya'll getting out of OEM shocks?

I'll check out the KW/Pete shocks and see if they will work for my application.

Thanks again!!!
