[QUOTE="paulrobinson2010, post: 554447, member: 19543"] Ok after reading and re reading this thread. Have decided to go for the gas shocks to replace a pair of dud spax adjustables and some ok'ish replacements from the guys at T2D. Question is looking at the machine 7 post on shocks they say it's better have more free play in compression than expansion which kind of makes sense. So for my westy: 300 mm eye to eye at rest on lowered t2d beam adjusters - beam adjusters at highest they'll go for the nut to clear the bar - so minimal drop :-) I've worked out I need these to give me more compression. 140 / 095 / B12 1.9" / 140 / 9" The ones most people have specced (but for dropped spindles) seem to be: 160 / 105 / B12 1.9" / 150 / 10" So which should I go for and will it make much difference? Is anyone running beam adjusters with gas shocks on the 160's without any issues... Cheers :D [/QUOTE]
