I am running the Aaron Lane setup and it calls for full droop for the front and rear.

If you are running the stock shocks, I always run full droop but make sure the droop screw is stopping the A arm and not the shock piston. So I tighten the screw just a touch until I see it start to lift the arm. You want the droop screw stopping the arm, not the shock piston.

With 8ight shocks, I back the droop off some for indoor, but go full droop (close to half an inch more than stock) for rough outdoor.

If my o-ring lid is correct...meaning I took what I think I did out of bin. The o-rings for shock caps are 9/16x7/16x1/16. I'm pretty sure that's right, without opening up shock.

Can this be done w/ the stk plastic caps? And do i need to drill a bleeder hole?

Yep, I did before getting alum ones. Just drill hole 3/64" is what I used.

Whats the scoop on the bearings in this truck, did they go cheap on them, do they wear out quickly for some reason, or maybe I just got a bad set?

I have yet to check all my bearings but I pulled my diffs out and 3 of the 6 were starting to go bad after only 6 packs?

Anyone else think these are wearing a bit prematurely, is it more then just the diff bearings?

Starting to go bad as in cracked or they feel a little gritty? if it is gritty, this will happen with dusty tracks. May have to clean them out and re-oil them.

sweet, thanks man. do you think we can run a 2nd o-ring, at the base of the threads on the shock body, much like an AE FT V2 shock?

I picked up a 10 pack of bearings for $10. So far I've only had one bearing go bad on me with months of use, the front center diff bearing. After I made sure I blow the crap out of the truck after each run, it hasn't happened again. I still have 9 spares

I've had good luck with my stock bearing also, minus the front center diff. I bought replacements on eBay and have only used the one. I run mostly indoors so not much dust or dirt, but when I do run outside I make it count.

Can someone please confirm or point me in the right direction for this:
Are these the aluminum shock caps that now come pre-drilled with a bleeder screw to run emulsion or if not, which ones do?

From what I've heard this was a running change, so you may or may not receive the update caps with the bleeder hole. I have the caps without the bleeder hole and still haven't had a chance to install them.

I believe Ryan was offering to drill them for you if you sent them in?

yes but you could get the older one that doesn't have bleeder hole.
