So I'll preface this by saying I got these in a trade with no specific need for them. They were beat, broken (literally, a dual stage spring was broken), and dirty.
After finding out they were on their way, I contacted a friend about them and he said he was interested. Unfortunately, they needed some help but he's up for some elbow grease to get a good deal anyway....
For starters, they are 14.5" eye to eye Works dual rate AT Steeler shocks.
Both had leaky seals (with no pressure), one had a broken second stage spring.
I made myself a set of ATV spring compressors a while back. They are the threaded rod style with two hooks that grab the spring. Work great, not the safest way to do this....
The hooks:
Them sitting next to the first set of shocks I took apart with them, Bayou 400 4x4 shocks:
Use those on the primary spring on these shocks and you end up with this:
In order, we have the cap that sits on top of the dual rate spring (but under the snap ring preload bushing piece), the white dual rate spring, the travel limiter tube, the plastic spring centering device, the blue primary spring, and the retainer assembly. Obviously the shock body that was all sitting on is on the right with the snap ring and snap ring preload bushing piece still on the body.
This is the bottom retainer that holds the whole assembly on while it's assembled. It's setup to fit around the square base that the lower mount is made out of.
