I gave up and ordered some 15" Rancho 9000's. I had to have a set and I could'nt wait any longer. I got a great price and quick delivery from another Pirate vendor.

Sorry guys still waiting to get them back in stock.

I've been waiting for two since October. My rig isn't going anywhere for a while, but it would be nice to know what the holdup is. Has any one recieved any since October '06?

Well, call up and ask about the discounted FOX upgrade.....

how do they compare ride wise?

I noticed they are on the front page of your site, does this mean they are in stock?

I guess that's a no ??

These are great shocks for our rockcrawler sport. Hold tight everyone cause I am sure they will be out soon. Thanks Dave for the great products.

Definitely Defective, and We can't have crap like that out there. Give us a call and we'll make it right for you.:beer:

At least you got 1 run out of them... I pulled into Moab after a 6 hr drive to find this.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d52/dotrappe/DSCN1563.jpg

My shock mounts were set up for these shocks and it's been a pain in the ass to switch over to a new (different length etc.) mount design for the new shocks.:shaking:

We're very aware of the issue and willing to do what we can to make it right for folks. The new seal design should be shipping within a month, but if something is needed sooner, feel free to give us a call and see what we can do for you. :beer:

Let me know as soon as you get 4 13 in coil versions. I need mine replaced ASAP I dont want to reconfigure all my shock mounts and I want to get this thing back on the trail and stop dropping my gas tank on every little rock I go over.

Thanks

I had a problem with mine leaking as well, However I called Poly, and they were willing to take them back and give me credit :) I still have another pair that leaked but one is bent, so I just said forget it.:(

Any Updates?
Thanks
Aaron

They are in production now, should have them by the end of the month.

Are these ready yet? What's the backorder status (how soon until I could get 4, if I ordered today? Have Dave or someone call/ pm me

Thaks Dave, I'll give you a call tomorrow, need to order a cutting brake too.

have these in stock now Dave? would like to put in an order.

not yet any day now.

will stop in often then. hopefully by next week, so i can spend my money wisely. hey Ethan have a build thread for your Blazer?

no build thread, just wanted to get it done.
Any Questions?

just wanted to see how you mounted your BBCS & how they're holdin up to the weight of a full size so far

For now I mounted them in the stock location, I have 11's in the front and 13's in the rear. I only have about 3 inches of up travel on each one. I plan on macking new mounts so I can get more uptavel out of them, but for now they work great i love them. The limited uptravel has helped keep my tires out of the sheetmetal though.

not yet any day now.

Anything new guys? Tryin' to hold out for these. :)

Has it been a week yet?

Updates?

Aaron

great shocks, but just got tired of waiting. I'm going with Doestch shocks.

Any chance you all are still offering Fox shocks at killer prices since the BBCSs have yet to arrive?

Back to pg. 1.

Guess I'll just call for some answers. :) If I wait too much longer, the high altitude trails will be snowed in. ;)

Any word yet? I've been driving 50 miles for work, 5 days a week for 3 weeks now without shocks. It's not fun and my tires are wearing faster :(

what is going on?

How would these shocks work on a 5000# jeep. Run on the road and wheeled to hell on the weekends....hardcore rockcrawling.

I would need 13's for the front and 11's for the rear.

I'm interested in a PM when these get back in stock. :smokin:

I love them. I had been running ranchos for years, and didn't realize how difference a shock could make.

How about an update?

We just got the Coil Spring Valving BBCS Shocks in stock yesterday.
Leaf spring Valving should be in stock in 1-2 weeks.

What's taking so long? dave said they would be in by july 1st. I called and was told another 3 weeks. It's been two months and they're still 1-2 weeks out? :crybaby2:

Yes, I know we have had an availability issue with these but the delay has been due to trying to make a better more superior product. As said above, we got all the BBCS coil spring valved shocks in stock the other day. The leaf spring valved shocks were supposed to be delivered first because that were the demand is at. The manufacturing facility screwed up..... We are doing the best we can to get this shit out there but it is out of our hands. Trust me, if we had the equipment/resources to be making these in house we would. Thanks for being patient guys! We are doing the best we can here.

got mine in last week. can't wait to get them on. length wise, look pretty damn good compared to a Fox 16" air shock. thanks to Ethan for the good customer service and quick shipment.

Would 3.5" uptravel be enough for these shocks ?

Would 3.5" uptravel be enough for these shocks ?

I would recommend using the next shorter size. If you were just crawling you might be ok though.

I have a set of leaf BBCS's both have had the leaking problem, you were out for awile so I just through them in the corner and put some foxs on. My question is I know the one is covered, but the other has a bent shaft. is it rebuildable and if so what would I be looking at.

No they are not re buildable. There is no warranty against bent shafts.

What's the latest update on these shocks...still considering them for my 5000# jeep TJ. Any long term feedback ?

have you read the entire post? there's guys that have given feedback...

have you read the entire post? there's guys that have given feedback...

Yes I did, did you? If you read the entire thread what you will find is very few guy's that have given feedback on the shocks performance. I found quite a few that were...got the shocks today, they look awesome...mounted the shocks today, they seem like there gonna be better than _________. I ran my shocks for 1 trip and they are leaking. So show me all the feedback that shows the shocks PERFORMANCE. I see very little. And yes I have searched quite a few times. Re read the thread yourself and look and the time line I have asked about these shocks..this isn't the 1st time. I have run Walker Evans, Bilstien, and Re's on my rig. I am very interested in these shocks but not willing to buy something with as little feedback as I have found. That's why I asked for an update...they have been out for a while...maybe someone has actually run them and can give me an intelligent answer. Now, If ya got feedback..fine. If not..take your comment and go fuck yourself.

:laughing: muy chingon behind the keyboard :shaking:

I have them on my K5 Blazer on 1tons, and they work great.
The shocks have not had a leaking problem for quite some time, we got that resolved with the last redesign.
If you have any more qustions about the shocks feel free to give us a call.

What kind of uptravel are you running these at? I run on the East Coast...rough trails and big rocks...terrain is not slickrock. It's nasty stick out of the ground tear your rig up stuff. What's the ride like at speed down trails and also how are they in the rocks..?

Are they valved so that they handle both ?

They are valved primarily for rocks.
I am running mine with about 5 inches up uptravel.
Even at that they are very controlled, I do drive this thing in the dunes from time to time, and for a big beast with balloony tires it handles really well at speed.

What do you guys suggest for optimal uptravel length ? My TJ has limited space for shocks...if needed I could put some hoops up front to lengthen my shock mounts and in the back bring the shocks thru the tub in the rear and make a mount to the cage...? Currently I am only running about 4" uptravel in the front...with a D60 in the TJ it comes down to clearance for the 60, steering components etc...With my bumpstop set up in the front, keeps the pumpkin out of my steering.

My rig is set up for minimal up travel and a lot of droop, seems to be the preferred set up here in the east for hard core rock crawling. I also compete in armature rc events with the rig, and that set up works very well .

The travel is really up to you.
The extended and collapsed lengths are on the web site. Don't buy more shock than you are going to use.

So if I limit the up travel to say 4" or so, I wont affect the function of the shock? For my suspension, and extended length of 31" or so in the front is right on the money...

There are a bunch of reviews in the BBCS faq in the Toy truck forum.

I do not have a shock with a 31" extended length.
The 11" is 28.09
The 13" is 32.69.

ok, I will check them out. and Thank You !

The 11" is 28.09

13" shock would give me the droop I need. I could probably run either...13" shock woiuld allow me about 4.5" of up travel...

I just extended the front mounts up top, and now have adequate up travel. I have had the front end come 4' off the ground and when it landed you couldn't even tell it left. Very Cool. I just ordered a set of 11" coil version for the rear and am putting Ford F250 mounts in and out boarding the shocks. Can't wait to run with these on all 4 corners...:smokin:

I have 4 new design version and one is leaking after 500miles. This is the second time with these things leaking. I hope Dave will take these back. I dont want to deal with these shocks anymore.

Do you have any pics of your mounts, and the shocks on the vehicle? Any witness marks on the shocks?

Do you have any pics of your mounts, and the shocks on the vehicle? Any witness marks on the shocks?

Here is the side that leaked. Front passenger side. Ive pulled the shocks off. THey are in boxes. I can see that the seal around the shaft on the failed shock is coming out of the shock body while the other three that didnt leak have the seal deeper into the shock body. I have a couple pictures but they are too big to post.

Witness marks? oil on the shock body? or damage to the shaft? THere is no damage to the shaft. ve stuffed them into boxes to ship and wiped all the oil off so I wouldnt be accused of shipping suspicious whatever through the mail. The only thing I can see is the seal is coming out of the shock body. I want a reliable shock not a garage floor oiler.

In the lower picture you can see how the seal has come out of the shock body on the left. The one on the right doesnt leak.

Any more feed back on these BBCs? Were the leaks isolated to just a few?

Both of mine leaked within 3000 miles of putting them on, I've since replaced them with a pair of Fox external reservoir ones and couldn't be happier

Hmm, that sucks. So the BBCS is a leaky beeeotch then egh?
:mad3:

I ran them last season and havent seen any signs of leaking yet...

Hmm, that sucks. So the BBCS is a leaky beeeotch then egh?
:mad3:

No, the BBCS WAS a leaky Beeeotch. The seal that was used in the initial batches was not up to the task of a 5/8" shaft. After extensive testing, a new seal design was implemented. We've since replaced any shocks that customers have sent back with leaky seals (with the exception of a few that had damaged shafts or bodies).

The valving and dimensions are the same as always, and as any owner can attest, they work great. They definitely work best with oil in them though and the newer seal design is making it happen!

Nope, ran em all last season on the back of my jeep, no problems, just put the 15's up front for this season...awesome shock.

I think the stickers are backordered though... Mine didn't come with any! ;)

Good To hear! Thanks for the reply!
I will be adding towers to my front very soon and will need a set :smokin:

I have seen pictures of them run upside down (upsidedown, inverted, wrongsideup (for the search engine ;) ), but no mention if this is an approved position. I have mine 'rightsideup', but have been asked if they can be ran the other way. Any insight into this?

Thanks for taking care of me guys. Stand up company.. Thanks, Mike

I've been running them for almost a year and a half on the front of my K5. No issues yet and they work good. They even withstood a 30 foot jump last year.

Running these for over 2 years now.. no problems... great shocks.. Can i get some more stickers?

The Cawk Shocks Live On!

I ran some of the originals, leaky SOBS. But Poly replaced the first 2 no hassle, 2nd 2 they had none on hand so they gave me a break on 2 Fox 2.0 emulsions to keep me on the road. Stand up guys with a great product. I still have one leaky 15" hanging in the shop for a spare.

Can I get some stickers for my RC Crawler. Im thinking the BBCS theme would fit right into my Comp Rigs paint scheme.
(Shopped my paint scheme onto a body, hopefully get it shot this week)

How will these work on a heavy rig? It's a suburban on one ton's

I plan on getting them for the 4 link rear

Dave,

What can you do on 2 BBCS for a '05 LJ front with coil springs to 76309? I'm assuming they are eyes on both ends? I still have stock shock mounts and don't want to change it up until I go to coilovers.

Thanks,
RG

How are the dual shock mounts holding up?:D

nice

so what does bbcs stand for?

Great product. I had a newer one (mfg mid-'08) that was leaking, but I had a bad leaf spring setup and it was moving too far forward-back, and I bent the shaft (causing it to leak). My fault, not Poly's! :laughing:

They didn't send me extra BBCS stickers when I bought the replacement shock, though. :mad3: :laughing:

Dave, nice meeting you @ your KOH booth.




What's the difference in valving between the coil and leaf versions?

Nevermind, found my own answer on p. 3:

Here is a quick reply...

Basically leaf springs naturally have some damping in the form of friction, so less shock damping is required than a coil spring. Other manufacturers specify this as light or medium damping.

Great product. I had a newer one (mfg mid-'08) that was leaking, but I had a bad leaf spring setup and it was moving too far forward-back, and I bent the shaft (causing it to leak). My fault, not Poly's! :laughing:

They didn't send me extra BBCS stickers when I bought the replacement shock, though. :mad3: :laughing:

Dave, nice meeting you @ your KOH booth.




What's the difference in valving between the coil and leaf versions?

Been running these for a couple years on the TJ, excellent shocks....

if you get the bumpstop on the shock can they be used to limit up travel???

or would it just be better to run a frame mounted bump stop instead


thanks

These will work as long as your mounts are beefy enough and you arn't going to be jumping it as it would break the 1/2" mounting bolt. I alwasy recomend a frame mounted bump stop but these will work.

I'm interested in 4 of the 15" with the bump stop limiters on 2. whats my shipping to 98290 in WA? thanks

All shocks come with bump stops on the shafts, but you can always cut them off very easily.

got my shocks in the other day. cant wait to put them on.

did not get any stickers with them though. anyway yall could send a few out?

thanks

Anyone have any problem running these can down?

With an IFP you can run them either way without any problems. Only downfall would be the dirt could just sit on the seal head maybe causing premature failure. Throw a shock boot on it and run them.

i've got a 84' yota with 4" skyjacker springs running 40's, are these shocks good candidate for me? i was gonna buy some big shock hoops for front and fab up something into tube bed in rear... i was looking at bilstein 5125 14" shocks till seein these

These shocks would work good in that application. we have an employee here that ran these on his 85 toyota with 40's for a while now. They are pretty equivalent to a 5125 series shocks as they both run an IFP, but our BBCS shocks have the nice bumpstop on the bottom of them.

I don't think boots will help to much and just capture more moisture esp where I live.

Do you guys rebuild these shocks? I have two 15" shocks, one slightly leaks and the other has a bent shaft.

The coilspring versions have less rebound and more compression.

(4) 11'' dank shocks to 29306 Business for a 99-TJ. Will these fit with no modification to the shock mounts front and rear, ie-bolt/on? Thanks.

These are a universal shock, not a replacement direct for anything. 13's should be here soon but no ETA right now.

PM me for best pricing.

Oh Ok nvm then.

I read the comment about the Coil spring version of the shock's having more compression valving than rebound and I get that. Am I correct in assuming that the valving is a progressive rate valving that firms up as the compression stroke increases? And I know that these were designed specifically for rockcrawling which is done at slow speeds.... So how are they for DD on the highway ...from an design engineering perspective?
I'm sold...just trying to learn a little more.

Thanks, Dan

2 for leaf shocks to 82240

Any ETA on the 13's yet??

Shipped out to us on Wednesday, should be here today. :grinpimp:

so how are the 13in for coils for a DD rig?

They work really well. We have used them on a tons of different vehicles. On some really heavy trucks like rovers and FJ80's i think they are a bit soft but otherwise work very well.

I have them on my TJ for a few years now. I really like them. I run no swaybars and control on and off road is great. Running the 15 coils front and 13 coils in the back.

Do you have the 11" leaf variety available?

If so, 2 to 32092.

You get the leak issue fixed?

Chad, are you asking me or do the BBC's leak??

You get the leak issue fixed?

They did:smokin:

No, the BBCS WAS a leaky Beeeotch. The seal that was used in the initial batches was not up to the task of a 5/8" shaft. After extensive testing, a new seal design was implemented. We've since replaced any shocks that customers have sent back with leaky seals (with the exception of a few that had damaged shafts or bodies).

The valving and dimensions are the same as always, and as any owner can attest, they work great. They definitely work best with oil in them though and the newer seal design is making it happen!

Chad, are you asking me or do the BBC's leak??

Talking about the shocks leaking. I am still reading your build thread...

ouch, never knew they were having problems with them

Got my two 11" the other day. They look beefy as all hell, but no stickers. What's up with that?

Do you have any vehicle specific applications or is whats on the web site what you get?

These are a universal application. No vehicle specific applications.

Well I'm looking into putting these on my DD rig. Rode in a jeep with them at big meat a couple weeks ago and was impressed. Kind of curious if they would hold up under a diesel engine or pulling a trailer.

I will ask again. Are the issues with these shocks leaking resolved?

Yes ALL LEAKING HAS BEEN FIXED. It was the first run years ago. All seals are high quality and we have not had any returns with the new design, besides the few that people send in with bent or nicked shafts.

Been running 15 front and 13 rear for 3 years, no issues.
