Just happened across this shock while perusing eBay and am looking to get some collective input from the forum. Seems like it might be around 1/2" longer than stock but other than that the measurements appear to be correct.

Specs:

285mm (1 1/4") total length
260mm (10") eye to eye length
Eye Diameter: 10mm
Eye thickness : 21.00mm
Spring thickness: 11mm
Spring Width: 66mm (2.6")
Spring Weight: 300 kgs (640 lbs)

I've contacted the seller to see if he'll sell them individually, but still waiting to hear back. He's selling a pair for $75.98 shipped.

Anywho, just thought I'd share what looks to be an affordable option and see if anyone has thoughts on why this might be a bad idea?

Yes, that is true.

I will give The Ruck Shop a call. I just noticed on their web page, the list the shock as "out of stock."

The spring rate on the TRS shock from "The Rook Shock" is 12.5 kg/mm, if I did the math correctly. That is a stiff spring compared to the stock 10.9 kg/mm. Just what I am looking for. I hope they are not out of stock soon.
