Are warrior shackels supposed to be gray?

[Jason94sport]

I got a set in & thought they were black. But there are a gray color. This is going to stick out a great deal on my X.

 

[Dan Whitaker]

They are available in grey or gold only.

 

[cgriffin_5139]

Rattle can them they work so good, who cares about the paint.

 

[Darrman]

Mine are gray also.

 

[Arthur]

when you order them you are supposed to choose grey or gold... what's wrong with just spraying some black paint on them?

 

[Jason94sport]

Black paint won't last down in FL. Too hot too humid. I paint other things black & have to respray them every few months. Not worth it. I just thought they were black. I never heard any mention they were gray in any of the treads I saw. I'll install them but if I don't like them I'm dumping the entire setup & putting my AAL springs back in.

 

[pope_face]

If you don't like them you can sell them to me... =D

I'm debating whether it's worth it for me to pay $600 for a 2" Skyjacker lift... I'm debating just going to an 8 or so right away... But, that'd probably cost several thousand...

I have them and the AAL. I love it no ass sag at all, and ridged as hell

Or sell them to me if pope_face doesn't want it

Do you know any local sellers of the lift here in Vancouver or were you thinking of ordering online?

 

[vrytired]

i also got gray but if i did it again i would repaint them anyway, mine are starting to rust.

North Shore Offroad... that's where I got my quote from... It's like, $193 for the 2" coils, $114 for the AAL, and $57 per shock... all Skyjacker parts... or like $541 for the whole kit, which is everything as listed above... Warrior shackles were about $120... All these prices are without taxes though, so the entire kit was just over $600.

 

[cgriffin_5139]

you can get the shackls for like 55 bux in the states

 

[CodePoet]

If it's that big of a deal powder coat them.

Looks like I'm heading into Washington this next weekend... I'll try calling a place in Bellingham or somewhere and seeing if they'd order them in for me... I'd still have to factor in driving time/gas and the exchange rate though... so I'd probably be looking at about $70... even so, I suppose it's cheap...

 

[xplrsport01]

buy some high temp engine paint that should hold up to the heats of florida

 

[sn0border88]

when savagewolf made my shackles he painted them bright green field marking paint, the kind that washes off. 2 months later they are still as bright as the day he made them I dont believe it.

Just paint them and dont worry about it.

 

[Yeeehaw86]

i repaint my cheap ones all the time. rocks tend to 'forcefully remove' things, including paint, from all surfaces of my truck they come in contact with. just carry some cheap-as-dirt 'mar-hyde rubber undercoating/truck bedliner' stuff from wal-mart. that stuff isn't coming off very easily, and definitely not from heat/humidity. it's worked for me for quite some time now.

 

[Anime]

I bought mine new and didn't like the light grey either. I siliconed the unwelded corners, spray painted them with wallyworld satin black, and they haven't needed paint since. It's been almost 5 years and 50,000 miles, through CO and NY winters, SE hurricanes, and much bad weather driving. I say use acetone to clean the surface, paint 'em how you like, and fuhgheddaboudit.

The coils should be closer to $130. The AAL should only cost about $35. $57 per shock isn't rediculous, but I'm shure you could get a better shock then that for the price, or you could just get some cheap ones for ~$35 a piece. I would recommend spending about $5 more per shock then you were planning on and getting some rancho RSX. I love mine. Someone else already mentioned how cheap the shackles are.

You could have them powder coated. although not completely permanent but probably the longest lasting. I can do them for about $20 each $35 a set. Gloss black, chassis black. silver or any color. Glenn
