As some will know, my 80 had a 110mm OME lift some 10 years ago and I'm interested to know if the shock absorbers are still up to scratch.
Is there any way to test them other than taking them off and doing a manual heave-ho on each end to see how slowly they extend?
Obviously, if they just squidge in and out they will be shot, but if they feel ok, does that mean they are OK?
I don't really want to just replace them as a matter of course, the truck seems to behave OK on and offroad, but after 10 years I've grown accustomed to the way it handles, which may not be ideal.
Any advice welcomed.
