ordered them today. FREE SHIPPING AT RE till the 30th. So it was only like $175 shipped

yup, heard they were the same as the IAS monotubes valved for REshimmy said:i believe the monotubes are made by edelbrock.... but not sure about the twin tubes
BrettM said:twin tube vs. mono-tube is very different
Some shocks come charged with nitrigen gas. the gas is under pressure, so the shocks extend themselves. a non-charged shock dosent have any pressure behind it, so it stays where you put it.kristoffers said:Seeing those pics reminded me of a question I had when I recieved my DT8000's - They didn't have a strap or string holding them closed, in fact I was able (with some force) to compress or extend them by hand and they stayed in position. All of my prior experience with shocks and struts has been that they will completely extend unless being held closed. Can anyone explain why mine aren't that way - is this common? Thanks!
