Default Shock Extensions
I did a search for this but did not come up with much. How are the shock extensions holding up to some hard work on the trail.

The ext are, it's the stock X shocks that are iffy. The rubi or gas charged hold up better.

I had a 2.5 BB with shock extensions, wheeled it hard for a year and had no problems. Broke other stuff though.

No problems with the extensions and just got back from Moab. Getting ready to ditch them tho and go with some good shocks.
