Do i need to get raiser pads or shock pads?

It depends on what board you're throwing them on. I use a 1/4 inch riser so I don't get wheel bite.

I don't use pads, but my board is cracking, maybe the pad would have help it to not crack as bad

Lower center of gravity for downhill fast runs. No pads.....better control....pad for harder carves

It is not completely necessary but good to help absorb shock from yor deck which can help prevent it from cracking. It could also be good to help prevent wheel bite, unless of coursse you have a drop through deck where risers wont do much. You dont absalutely need them but they are good to have.

No, you do no need raiser pads or shock pads to use the truck. They ride very well and i don't use pads. If you want to get shock pads it will only dampen the ride (less shake) but, shock pads will do this for any truck.

Depending on your deck. If you have a drop through deck you may want shock pads. Or if you have a regular deck, to avoid wheel bite you may want raiser pads. It's up to you. But I highly recommend these trucks. Bears are great for freeride and sliding.

These shocks are for stock ride height. The shock part is only medium duty, but the extra spring is nice to firm up the soggy TTB ride.

Yes they are sensatac shocks, good kit will sit about 2" high in the back than before but most will settle out over time, I used a spring compressor saved me a lot of work

You do not need longer struts. These spacers go on top of the stock length struts. The stock length shocks on the rear will work but may limit your overall suspension travel. A longer shock would be more ideal.

Front Shock. Rears are different. Use the Look Up Make and Model, will help. Cheers. Ken.

I agree with redknight that ride quality will be reduced though shock extension is not an issue as the upper bump stop will limit travel. Each spacer will lift "lift" the suspension by a 2:1 ratio since the spring perch and tire contact patch are in that ratio but only by the amount that the spring coil spacing is increased. When I installed the spring spacers the coil spacing was approximately 3/4". With the spacer the turn to turn spacing increased to the expected 1" but the net change is only 1/4" so a 1" spacer yields only a 1/2" ride height change. In my case I removed the rubber spacers and installed a steel spacer between the spring and its upper seat in the frame. This provides a predictable change. If the spacer increases the springs effective length by 1", you will get 2" change in ride height. Remember you will need to adjust camber and toe in with any change.

I would have to say no. These are air shocks that rise when you put air in them, not lower. You want air bags and even then you are going to have to completely modify the spring perches and shock mounts. Don't know exactly how you are going to do that, but lower? Don't think these are what you are looking for...

No,as long as your only doing 3" everthing will fit , don't forget to buy shock boots online,there way cheaper then some stores.i found out the hard way,we'll I was doing the install,it cost me $40 for too front boots.

I used a pair with v-brakes. The pads need to be pretty close to the rim, but finely adjusted so I can still get the noodle out of the quick release.

No you do not, but i would recommend getting new shocks for the extra travel so that they dont bottom out

I would say it depends on where you place the pads as to how intense the little shocks are. On the feet, you can run it all the way up to an intensity of ten, but on the shoulders, I could only stand a six. There are three choices, massage, beat or knead. They all have a purpose. Adjust to your own tolerances. The speed + makes it happen more often, and speed - slows it down.

You might want my to get the Heady Duty version of the same shock. If memory serves me the factory rep told me that 250 is the magical number for the standard and more than that is the Heavy Duty set. Of course you could call them and get their expert opinion. They were very helpful for me.

Bryan, It is recommended that you use longer shocks with the lift kit. I never attempted to use the stock shocks to know if it would go together with the lift but I know the suspension would not operate properly due to the insufficient up/unload travel limitations of the shorter stock shocks.

So far I haven't needed a shock mount but have put the Samson S01 on my wish list.I bought a simple boom, floor stand which works great for the home studio and willwork great on stage.

You don't need a shock mount for any dynamic mic. I recommend using a condenser mic with pop filter for recording and some of those use shock mounts. I only use dynamic mics with regular mounts for live performance.

Not just for stock, they have enough travel for what seems to be about 3 inches safely, i put these shocks in with a "Leveling Kit" that raised the back 2 inches and the front about 3-3.5 Inches.

it should be the same shock. They will lift the rear about 2in. My rubber inserts between spring and shock fell out. I spray the rub area with WD 40 to stop squeaks. I still love the shocks.
