Well , it's no secret that the stock FG shocks are somewhat of a disappointment , so we have been working with a company that has developed an improved adjustable alloy shock to replace the stock version.
Excellent quality and after some testing we were very happy with how they performed and held up very well.
Pricing on these compared to the FG alloy version will be almost half the price.

All colors will be available at no extra cost.

Thank you

Very interesting. They look real nice. Will there be more spring options? Not sure what other performance you can get out of the shocks on a lumber wagon.:clown: Are they smoother or something? What would be the advantage of these other then the adjustment? I think the stock springs seemed too stiff without adjusting them any tighter? fwew now I can breath...:clown:
 
The stock FG shock springs are fine , but the shock itself is unable to be tuned or adjusted.
For certain applications you need to be able to adjust your suspension and the answer to your question is , YES it will have a much smoother ride.
The upgradable FG alloy shocks are a good upgrade for everyone , the problem is , not many people want to plunk down almost $250 for them.

Our version is of the same quality , but at half the price , so it's an easy upgrade that will improve your Truck or buggy handling capability.

How do we keep our pricing down compared to the FG version???
We don't need to import them into the U.S , that alone will keep the cost down and make everything more affordable.

Thanks for the questions
Pete
 
Oh my those look nice. I better get out and hussle up some work. I just have the stockers on my semi. I just replaced one stock shock too but these would look nice.

When are they available then?
 
They will be ready to ship by Oct 31st , end of the week.

First come , first serve , we are limited on supplies.

Thanks
 
All colors now in stock.

Besides a tuned pipe, this is going to be the best upgrade you can do on your FG Monster or Stadium trucks!

There going fast, so there is a limited amount of each color.

Thank you

Hello Robert,

Yes the shocks come complete ready to install, nothing else needed to do, but remove your stock shocks and install the upgrade.

Thank you
 
Can you provide some pics of the inside parts and construction? Many people are going to want to see before buying otherwise it ends up being a cat in a bag.

2 questions

are they only sold in sets, I've a fg baja/marder with twin shocks on the rear so would need 4 long shocks

how come your website is trying to charge $20 shipping to Canada... thought is was free
Click to expand...

If you were buying them directly from the forum under ( market place ) located at the bottom of this forum, shipping is included as stated ( FREE ).

The site cannot determine itself FREE for worldwide shipping or should I say individual locations.
We need to charge shipping cost to overseas customers, as stated in the forum US & Canada only for FREE shipping.
Best thing to do is contact us direct so we can make those changes for you.

Also, I can provide ( 4 ) shocks for you in any of the colors you choose.

AKZIP, I will get some pictures up as soon as I can.

Thank you
