    Oil charged shocks let the spring do the work of rebounding and gas charged assist in rebounding. many mistakenly think a rough ride or poor handling is caused on the compression side of the stroke when many times it is actually the spiky rebound that makes the ride have a jarring feeling.

     

    Now assuming your springs (coil. torsion or leaf) are in good shape and not sacked- an oil shock will allow greater control of rebound and helps keep the tires in contact with the road (by having slower more precise rebound) on fast chop. Gas charged are theoretically better for aged springs but no company will really admit that since not many want to admit that they should be replacing springs and shocks- not just shocks and at the price point of springs and shocks on an older car with a common owner with a smaller budget- gas shocks are installed to improve the ride on the pavement. Gas shocks can make a worn suspension handle worse on faster bumpy roads, but work well on the street. KYB is one of the only ones that will sort of admit that gas charged shocks are menat for older vehicles as a replacement shock- but you have to read in to it on thierr website.

     

    My truck has OG springs and KYB GasAdjust. Rides great down the highway but gets real rough on bumpy pavement and off road at speed. I just brought my truck with 163k and am still not decided about where I am going/what I am going to spend on it yet. I am still leaning towards dalily driver with limited off road (mainly to get to trailhead to go MTB) so might just get new torsions, all new ball joints etc and re arch the rear springs for compliance and install some nice Ranchos.

    AWESOME THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oil filled shocks do not rebound by themselves, because the are not "charged." They stay wherever you position them, until you or some other force moves them again. Gas filled are charged and thus do return to a preset position when you move them and afaik air filled do the same as gas shocks.

     

    So no, there does not seem to be anything wrong with yours :aok:

    kool thanks red ,, so what is the benefit of oil charge schocks

    The 5000's are not charged. At least the 5000's I just installed tonight were not. They worked just fine once installed.=) I'm very pleased with the rears, and expect I will be when I get time to put the fronts on as well.

    what does tha mean veilside? does it mean tha when you push them in they are not supposed to come back out.???????????????????????????? i dont get it

    I'd ask if it fits first. The intake on a 87-89 is NOTHING like the intake on a 90-95. The hot air riser on the bottom of the stock air cleaner will need to be eliminated, that would be the very first place water would go if you got in too deep.

    kool thanx 88,am not really going fording,i just like the look.
