Cotton eyed Joe Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 how well do you think it will hold up 375315[/snapback] Depends on the terrain. I have mine done, but I've only been out a few times in the sand. Also, if you get behind someone throwing rocks and sand, nothing will stand up to that. Just get real fast, then get chrome. Quote

They have chromed shock springs. I'm sure over time it might, but it isn't brittle. I had to adjust an a-arm with a Porta Power and a 46oz ballast hammer after getting them chromed, and it never cracked. Moved it quite a bit too. They only real issue is hydrogen embrittlement. Do a google search on that since I'm not 100% on how much it would affect you in this situation. Quote
RNBRAD Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 Chrome springs are not a problem, I've used them for 5 yrs. Quote
