Only because I had never seen this set up until I bought my k5, I thought I would share it with everybody.

Input?

Yeah, kicker shocks. I'd like to feel how the ride changes with them.

Yeah, help control axle wrap and spring twist. I wouldn't mind a set of either for mine.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect a ride difference with the 2nd shock. Just a little added buffer to axle wrap is about all that would do I'd think.

Looks cool, but I don't see how it would help much, except to start a conversation on shocks and suspension engineering/dynamics.

that is exactly why they were made so us average folks would question why they were made, and come up with crazy answers :gathering:

It's actual purpose is to dampen the rapid length change of the spring that we know as wheel hop...

I may be interested. Might be able to find something to trade ya or PayPal depending how much you want and what I can scrape up. Keep me in mind when you go to get rid of them. I am assuming they should fit my Burb, dont know for sure.
