Regarding the original blue shocks vs the FT grey ones, was there a problem with the blue that they rectified with the Ft or are the blue ones fine?
I bought a pair of FT for the rear as i was told that they can be a problem.

The FT ones are hard anodized, as opposed to just anodized. This produces a smoother, longer lasting shock with tighter tolerances. Also, the shock shafts are ti-ni coated for smoother action and longer life.

Or maybe i'll get another pair and run the FT shocks with 2 stage pistons and have a full set spare

Just wondering where does it end?

Or, one emulsion, one bladder, 5 mins on one, swap, etc etc
Build your spare shocks with slighty different weight oil, do 5 mins on one, quick swap, 5 mins on the other, see what works. If you have an issue you only need to top up one set with the oil that works and you are away again.

At least until i got settled on the weight to use and then set aside a set for backup
