: What's BIG & BLACK & Has 15"s Of Shaft.....??????.... SILICONE NOT INCLUDED
POLY PERFORMANCE BBCS 15" travel monotube nitrogen charged shocks.
Well after a long delay on the manufacturing on these things they are finally IN STOCK & ready to ship------>
THE LOW DOWN-
-A total of 15"s of shock travel.
-High pressure Nitrogen charged mono-tube (with internal floating piston (IFP)) construction that dissipates heat more effectively for increased seal life and durability.
-Degressive piston (both comp & reb sides), valved specifically for rockcrawling.
-Durable powdercoated finish for the best corrosion resistance.
-Nitro Steel shock shafts won’t chip or flake like chrome.
-Polyurethane bushings.
-Polyurethane bottomout bumper with Aumnium bumpcap.
-Welds done with robotic projection welder for accuracy and consistent quality.
-Tube ends are rolled closed for leak-free construction… other brands have tubes that are welded closed.
-Large, 46mm piston for more consistent damping.
-Viton seal and low friction piston rod bearing for long life and no leaks.
We have done alot of testing on the valve codes for this new shock absorber and its performance will reflect it. The shock is IDEAL for those of you running long travel leaf spring suspension setups (especially the Toyota guys). We will be releasing this same shock with an adjusted vlave code for coil spring applications in the near future.
PRICING: $99.99 Each and will be shipped for free for the remainder of July 04'
FYI: A special surprise for the first individual that places an order and is able to guess what BBCS stands for.

TheTonka 06-23-2004, 08:03 AM Damnit I can't see the shocks in those first pictures something must be in my line of sight that is making my ADD go nucking futs.
:flipoff2:
I like. I think I just changed my list. Now these are on there. How well should these do under a 5000lb leaf sprung Willys pickup? Weight distribution is fairly even front to rear.
Those are some good guesses....... one of you gys got it.
Here are some more bbobs for ya.
rustynuts 06-23-2004, 11:44 AM last one? c'mon, i know you took more shots than that. very nice. :)

BBCS = Big Black Cock Shocks :D
Arya Ebrahimi 06-23-2004, 03:51 PM How much did those cost?!? Yes I know the shocks are $99 ;)
Look at the shocks on that one
StinkBug 06-23-2004, 11:40 PM Damn you weren't kidding :eek:
Got mine already. Thanks for the quick service Dave. Got em all mounted up and they are Saweet. I can already tell they are gonna ride a ton better than the ranchos on my rig. From playing around in the shop the damping feels nice and smooth and matches the rear Fox airs nicely. Cant wait to drive the thing :D

MAD MAC 06-24-2004, 12:40 PM yeah how much did them thangs cost ya and yes I am talking about the beewbies. oh by the way what is the rod diameter of the shock.
redramsport 06-24-2004, 01:23 PM Damn, gotta get me a set of them!!
And some of the shocks too, barely noticed those in the pics!!
Compressed and Extended length???
Any plans on a shorter version, don't know if I would need the that much?!?
Concentrate damn it, I'm talking about shock travel!! :flipoff2:
mobil1syn 06-27-2004, 10:19 AM PIG, i know nothing about shocks and well you know alot. How do these compare to a bilstien 5100? right now i gots ranchos but was considering 5100s but these are out now. my truck sees rocks, dez, and street. mostly street and rocks. thanks for your time.
Bill Collins 06-27-2004, 11:11 AM when i talked to dave at moab,he said he drove out of the road from pricet cayon at a nice fast speed with his proto shocks he had,i had just came out the same road with my doest tech shocks and it beat the shit out of me,i think we got the same springs too...
I can verify first hand since I was in Dave's rig when we drove out of Prichett that these shocks are fawking amazing.... We were hitting shit that should have knocked our teeth out and these things just sucked it up.....Try them you will not be dissapointed!!!!!!
nosduj 06-28-2004, 08:19 AM ditto, whats the extended/collapsed length on them?
36.375 extended
21.375 collapsed
KC_JoNeS 06-28-2004, 12:17 PM FYI: A special surprise for the first individual that places an order and is able to guess what BBCS stands for.
can I place an order for a weld in bung and still guess what the BBCS stands for? Well, I already know what it stands for, but I dont want to give it away if I have to order the big black cock shox to win. OOPS! I let the cock out of the shorts....uh, I mean bag! :cool2:

Donahoe 06-30-2004, 07:00 PM BYe The Way.... YOu are welcome for the GREATEST MARKETING IDEA sence the pet rock. BBCS IS CLEVER, GROOVY, AND THE DAMM TRUTH... PEACE OUT.
PS.... Wes likes girls...he thinks they are fun to shop with.
We have been receiving quite a few calls about the applications for these shocks which leads us to this general response. These shocks feature rockcrawler valving. This is the same style valving we set all our coilovers up with. Obviously the valving for a coil spring vrs. leaf spring application will be a bit different which is why these shocks will /are available for either application. These shocks perform well on a variety of leaf sprung vehicles, from light tube buggies to fullbodied exocage crawlers.
IronBenderII 07-01-2004, 11:19 AM So how do these compare with say 7100's? What valving is available? Are they owner-rebuildable?
Looks nice!
Jack
The first difference is that they are $70 cheaper.
They are not revalvable because there is no need to revalve them. Pig spent a lot of time tuning these shocks so you wont have to.
Jason M 07-01-2004, 05:47 PM 2 questions, can they be revalved? And what is the compressed length?
2 questions, can they be revalved? And what is the compressed length?
They cannot be revalved. The valving has been tuned for a variety of leaf sprung rockcrawlers. The compressed length is 21.375 inches.

I'm getting the DEAL :D
Ryan- I'll be calling you on monday to discuss some things now that I'm not running out
of the door.

I believe that I heard the rod is 5/8.
I believe that I heard the rod is 5/8.

Came home at two and they were waiting for me. You guys have impressive turn
around as I was talking to Dave at about 5 yesterday. I don't need to mount them for
a while but it's assuring to know I have them and you operate quickly.
dave- check your e-mail
turbrotoy 07-07-2004, 05:54 PM Damn If thats the shock babe .I cant wait to see the pigfield GIRL :eek: WOW! :D :eek: :D :eek: :evil: :eek: :D
wait till you see what she does with it :eek:
I just installed some in the rear of my truck. All I can say is WOW!!!
cant wait to get the fronts on
i'd like to see some mount picts. how far did they come towards the center on the cross
member?
ErikB 07-13-2004, 04:13 PM Ordered a pair today. :)
I'm curious how they'll compare to the 5100's I've been running...
i'd like to see some mount picts. how far did they come towards the center on the cross
member?
I ended up mounting them vertical because the rear sits so low and I wanted to have enough up travel to rail it at pismo.
Here are some pics
I still need to work on the front but the rear is great!
Erik, youll have your shocks this afternoon

Jul 13, 2004 7:22 P.M. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA, US ORIGIN SCAN
Just a hair over 24 hours from when I talked to Dave on the phone to having them on my rig. :smokin:
So far, I'm VERY impressed! They are firmer than the Bilsteins like I'd hoped, but still don't give a harsh ride like Rancho's do. And that's just from some boonie-crashing through the front yard and then hauling ass on the way to work. My truck has much better control than with the Bil's.
I even backed off the rear 9012's one notch and it still handles great. (my rig is a commuter rig) I'm seriously considering replacing the 9012's too (wife may get pissed, but... ). The only reason I have the 9012's in the back is so I can crank them up real stiff for towing and stuff. These shocks seem good enough that I may not need that, and I'm sure they'll ride a ton better too!
I can't wait to actually take them wheeling! :cool2:

Hows that for delivery time....... nice pics by the way. Slap those stickers on and take some more.
SeaBass44 07-19-2004, 04:46 PM what type billstiens did you replace? model #?
ErikB 07-20-2004, 07:44 PM ...the 14" travel 5100's.
A little longer-term update- they don't really seem much different than the Bil's in the smaller bumps, but they seem to have better control/ride on the bigger bumps. The truck settles down quicker.
engine2firefighter 07-20-2004, 10:35 PM Great customer service. Thanks fellas!!

JeepinDoug 07-27-2004, 08:59 PM Damn, I got em today, nice!
I looked like a monkey fawking a football trying to get the two on, what's the best way to compress them for fitting? I extended my suspension but there must be an easier way, I was just too excited to think about it. Then I started to really plex out when I couldn't find the BBCS15 stickers, pretty sneaky putting them between the boxes.
Swaeet shocks!!!
Thanks again, Doug
to install mine, i wrapped a tie down around it to collapse it to the length i wanted

My DT8000s need to go... one had an encounter with a steering arm pushed by a hydro ram... lol! :D btw, did I read that one post right... are there 2 different versions/valvings? if so, i got a heavy leaf sprung K5... that sees a little on-road time to/from trails... so hook me up. :D
ahhh, dang it.. the free shipping deal has expired. curses!! :(

Thanks........To the top
lentzOUTLAWZ4x4 09-06-2004, 11:58 PM can i get a price on 4 to 95503
Currently all the shocks are valved for leaf spring suspensions. We are working on valving for coil spring suspensions however they are currently not available.
Gummi Bear 09-09-2004, 03:02 PM Currently all the shocks are valved for leaf spring suspensions. We are working on valving for coil spring suspensions however they are currently not available.
Is there an ETA for when the Coil version will be available? I'm in the market for new shocks on my EB.
The price is much more attractive than the 7100's that I have been ogling.
Thanks

It is still a ways in the future, we have a lot of new products we want to produce and it all takes time.
These shocks will work better work better than 7100's right out of the box!
Here is a thread about the BBCS (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=281773&highlight=bbcs)
Here is another thread about the BBCS (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=283014&highlight=piss+shocks)
Gummi Bear 09-14-2004, 01:30 PM Thanks for the response, reading the first thread is what piqued my interest in them initially.
I may have missed what makes the valving issue different between the two, but would you mind covering what makes the valve rates different between leaf and coil springs? How come other manufacturers don't discriminate between the two?
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.
Tim84K10 09-14-2004, 09:30 PM Wow, screw the 5150s then, I know what I want now. :)
Ive got em whenever you are ready
rockcandy 10-01-2004, 12:42 AM I ordered mine 2 days ago. Got them today and went out to put them on. I can't really compare pro comp shocks to these I suppose(apples to oranges in my opinion) but I am very impressed so far. Great job with the valving on these!!!

24hoursofNevada 11-17-2004, 11:23 PM I've yet to notice a shock in this thread...What are you guys talking about :eek:
ErikB 11-20-2004, 07:39 PM That's actually what TRD was talking about. Pigs "BBCS's" are edelbrocks. But with super secret squirrel valving just for us Toy's :)
Any truth to this? Do they still use the intertia valve (IAS)?
I've been thinking about trying the Edelbrocks too, but I don't need the remote res, or the extra cost for it. If these are basically the same, then there's no point in trying Edelbrocks and I can just buy another pair of BBCS.
And if they are Edelbrocks, are you a dealer? I want to buy a set of them (normal OEM length ones) for my wife's DD truck and I'd rather buy them here than from 4wp.
EDIT- ah, just checked the web site again and its been updated since I looked last. Edelbrocks are now on your list. :cool2: (but the Edelbrock page is blank)
GOOD, I've got some questions about the Edelbrocks since you guys actually know what you're talking about instead of just reading what's on the computer (4wp).
Are the "Xtreme Travel" shocks available w/o the reservoir? Price?
Are they available in different lengths (like 12" travel?) ?
What's the price for the "86-95 Toy w/ 3" lift" front shocks?
PM me prices if you want.

Wow, you quoted me from another thread, and I just happened to be reading this one. All I meant by that was that they are 'made' by edelbrock but valved for toyota leafspring / toy axles. And that's just what Ive heard word of mouth specifically from some peeps down in his area at Pismo a few weeks back.
Wasn't trying to mislead anyone...

A few of my friends have bought Edelbrocks through Pig for the tow rigs. All are happy.
Edelbrock has a line called Xtreme IAS which are the same as Xtreme Travel without the Reservoir (whatever) All the same applications are covered.
BBCS's Are Not The Same As Edelbrock Shocks
Dont know who you heard that from but it wasnt me.
muddogbob 11-21-2004, 01:37 AM TRD,
You think it would be a big deal to use these shocks as bumpstops???
These ok for light bump stop duty. AKA no jumping or prerunning.
ErikB 11-22-2004, 10:16 AM BTW, I meant to post this a while ago, but here is a really easy way to compress the shocks to get a ratchet strap on instead of fighting with them. :)
ErikB 11-23-2004, 01:46 PM Edelbrock "universal" shock length info from Dave (PIG):
Travel/Extended length
7", 20.32"
8.1", 22.73"
10", 26.63"
12.2", 31.26"
14.2", 35.46"
Available in soft or medium valving, w/ or w/o reservoir.
As for BBCS being made by Edelbrock, this is basically what he had to say:
Edelbrock makes a LOT of different shocks for a LOT of different companies (he rattled off a handful of names he knew of). The similarities between Edelbrock's "Xtreme" line and BBCS are the tube body and the end loops. Everything else is different, especially the internals, which of course dictate how the shock performs. The Edelbrocks use their own patented valving, and the BBCS use the digressive style valving that Dave spent all that time and effort to tune. He doesn't want people comparing the BBCS to Edelbrocks because they really are very different.
Anyway, Dave was very helpful, and I ordered some Edelbrocks for my wife's daily driver. :D
Blue-Beard 11-25-2004, 02:26 PM ok I know that the BBCS aren't yet availible with valving for a coil sprung rig so what shock would you recomend for a coil sprung rig? I thinking along the same price lines as a BBCS or Bilstein 5125 or so, not a super expensive shock. Do the Edelbrock IAS shocks have a valving better suited for a coil'd rig? Thanks :D
If you need something immediatly I would look at fox emulsion shocks or edelbrock IAS.
Coil Spring version is in testing so hold on!

ErikB 12-28-2004, 08:00 AM Ryan or Dave-
Those Edelbrocks I ordered back in November still haven't shown up... should I be worried yet? If so, is there a way you can check on the order with Edelbrock for me?
rockalot 01-12-2005, 07:44 AM Checking on my order placed Monday morning.
Not in a hurry just going by what you said & I haven't rcvd a tracking # yet.
rockalot 01-13-2005, 06:55 PM Worry not (like you would :flipoff2: ) they arrived Wed.
Was I sapose to get a couple BBCS sticks? all there was in the box were Poly's.
LaNeR88 01-19-2005, 03:34 PM What's the deal with these shocks are they still in stock and is there free shipping?
In stock, free shipping in lower 48. For those who got them without stickers gimme. We ran out and Ill get them to you when they come in.
sorry
Blue-Beard 01-20-2005, 11:04 PM any updates on a version tuned for coils?
We are working on protypes, just havnt had a chance to really test them yet.
toymachine13 01-25-2005, 07:36 PM Got mine a few weeks ago, and got them on. After working out mounting issues, I finally got to test them out this weekend. SAAWWEEEEEEET!. I love these things. They ride nice, and I felt alot more stable than usual. WIth rears up front I was getting abou 13" of total travel. On compression at that much travel I was rubbing the shock witht the tire....again.
Anyway, you guys did an excellent job on these shocks. Keep up the good work.
FOr anyone who is curious....there are some pics on our website (I'm the exo'd toy)
Most of the good pics are in my writeup here:

Fawk Awph 01-26-2005, 06:09 PM i am intrested in these shocks. i plan to use a ford shock tower and some tabs on top of the axle. i am using 96 bronco leafs and full width chevy. first question is: is it ok to mount the front shocks slightly inward towards the top.
and for those already running these: what is the normal length of shaft showing when parked on flat ground?
oh ya. 4 shipped to 97527

Roc Doc 02-02-2005, 11:59 AM I ended up mounting them vertical because the rear sits so low and I wanted to have enough up travel to rail it at pismo.
Hey, BTW how's that rear suspension holding up? Any complaints or things you'd change?
Back on topic, I'm running 9012's now and like the ability to soften them up for crawling, or making them stiffer for road driving, (very little), or trailering. Where would you say the valving of a BCCS lies in the 1-5 range of the Rancho's?

I would say that this style of shock is a totally different animal in that is has several stages of dampening......... Give us a ring and we would b happy to explain how the deressive piston works.... or better yet here was a thread awhile back that explains a little bit more.... If anyone has any more indepth tech questions give us a ring as we would be happy to explain more.

OK, so this is my junk crossed up, and you can see with the 9012's I'm not out of shock travel, so I really don't need the extra length of the BCCS. But since they are NOT position sensitive, this shouldn't hinder the valving, right?
And since I have my shocks mounted /\ style, it should have a 0.75:1
motion ratio...right? Is this a problem?
I read the thread, and now understand the theory at least. I wouldn't say I'm ready to work on the Herbst trucks just yet, but at least I understand what they're trying to accomplish.
Thanks,
Doc
Edit: I can't get the pic to post right now so here's the link; http://groups.msn.com/PBBPix/parkeraz105.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=96
These are velocity sensitive.
You will get better results from any shock if you mount them at an angle leaning forwards or backwards instead of leaning in. It will give you better roll stability.
Mounting them at an angle is not a problem but will decrease the effective damping.

Alrighty then...H.A.N.U.

Roc Doc 02-08-2005, 10:00 AM Got 'em yesterday, and damn are they long. I mounted them /\ and there is only have about 6" of shaft showing, so I think I'm going to pierce the flatbed and run them pre-runner style. I should be able fab an upper mount right off of the roll cage. (Pic with the old 9012's).

6" of shaft showing is plenty for rockcrawling
Pig barely has 5" showing.
I'll get the shipping thing fixed today
Roc Doc 02-08-2005, 10:46 AM 6" of shaft showing is plenty for rockcrawling
OK, thanks. I think I'd still rather have a 1:1 motion ratio, and I don't need to mount them for anti-wrap purposes either, as I have an anti-wrap bar. If you look at the picture, that's about all the up travel I can get before the 38's get into the fenders, so it doesn't make that much difference anyway, but I'd like to be able to use the droop. So once I make the new mounts I'll likely have about 6-7" of shaft showing at static ride height.

Mounting them at an angle is not a problem but will decrease the effective damping."
TRD/PIG: Both shocks mounted forwards or backwards or one shock forward/one backward (ie: stock toyota configuration)??
I've got Alcans that flex like crazy but also contribute to alot of body roll on sidehills, off camber situations, etc..my doestech shocks are really soft too and dont help...
I think these BBCS might help alleviate this problem somewhat? What do you guys think? I need new shocks anyways and want to re mount my rears to run longer shocks also.
Brian
I would lean them both the same dirrection.
If you mount them near the outside of the rig these will help with body roll.

TRD, why did you switch from coils to leaves on the rear 3link?
Here is mine. It is a copy of your original design, but on an 84 4runner. The rear of my frame was damaged so I bobbed 13 inches and I had no rear hanger left.
http://pics.montypics.com/brewman/2005-03-31/1112334919_imag0034.jpg
I changed it because I wanted more travel. When I bought their were farily stiff coils on it for street performance (it was a DD). I was only interested in trail performance. My buddy convinced me to cut it off one day when we were bored at the machine shop. I never had time to get the quarter eliptic to work correctly. I'm finishing up mounting BBCS coilspring valving coilovers right now. I will be testing them and tuning them to get the valving correct.
What spring rate are you running? I could not get a soft enough spring rate because the rear end is so light. You will probably have better luck.
I'll post updated pics once I'm done (possibly this weekend)
brocbronc 04-01-2005, 10:24 PM 200#. I havent driven it more than off the trailer because it has 4.3 tbi that I cant get to run correctly.
I think mine was 225 or 250 I'd have to look to be sure. Your rig is heavier so that rate will probably work better for you.

This would all be for a leaf sprung Toy.

Yes, there is an internal extesion bump stop in there that would help at low speed. If you are going high speed you need to run limiting straps...! Version 2.0 has the upgraded jounce bumper. That is the only difference.

I'll probably run a compression bumpstop just to ba safe for the high speed logging roads, but I'll never get air time so I shouldn't need any limiting straps, so long as slow extensions crawling are okay.

These shocks work great with this suspension, surprisingly. I thought they might not be stiff enough, but they're perfect, even hauling ass over the woops.

@ 45 degress you are really starting to effect the shocks work angle.... We really recomend nothing more than 15 degrees in any direction otherwise the dampening starts to be compromised. Please call for more info.
