LST Shock Oil - 02.24.2008, 09:50 PM

Hey all,

Just got my used LST shocks rebuilt (o-rings, pistons, rod ends), and the next step is adding oil. But considering that each shock will consume almost a whole bottle of oil, I want to get the oil weight right the first time. What oil have you guys found to work best? For now it looks like I'll use silver springs, and I'll be making parts to fit the shocks to the truck (college really puts a damper on spending!).

My truck might be lighter than the average conversion, since it has a center diff and no tranny, although it does have a KB45 10XL (heavy) and 10s1p A123, in a FLM extended low CG chassis.
