I'm looking for a little clarification for assembling the cartridges on the 1.5r's big bore shocks. The manual is a little foggy.
Going by what I already know about shocks, I assume the order of installation should be o-ring, thin disc, o-ring, thick disc, g-clip. Is this correct?

That is how I did mine, with plenty of assm lube on the o-rings.

Yep that sounds right. I just use shock oil on the shaft to lube it when I put it in.

Get some green slim from associated, your shocks will never leak.

yup, also the top mount i install so the screw goes in and the nut is on the inside of the tower. makes shock changes a breeze.
