Are you sure! :lol:

You can Buy Fox Airs with the same size bore and shaft as the Sway-a-ways!

I like the Fox airs, both work the same. Its just i seem to be able to get a hold of Fox parts a lot easier than Sway-a-ways.

I thought all the "air" shocks used nitrogen as the "air", I think I heard CO2 was also OK, but this I am not 100% sure of.

Yeah i know Fox uses Nitrogen, you add or remove it to vary pressure inside the shock..

Tyre shops now have pressurised Nitrogen to fill up car tyres. They should be able to help fill your shocks when you need it :lol:

from memory, they where a little cheeper than the others, pretty shure they are the same bore as the other brands, but all the components on the outside of the shock are a bit neater in my opinion, probly not as beefy though, they havnt busted yet :armsup:

They should be good, Radflo have been making shocks for offroad racing trucks for years.

Mock :cool:

Oh, and they have Black shiny bits :armsup:
