Loving what you've done with the front remote Res. Looks really nice. My rears are only short hose as they're pin-eye so I will have to just mount mine on the shock body.

But looks really good. Glad the ride is good!

Can you do pin pin on the rear using any front dampers or just foxes?

Yes any fronts will do. I believe the Gwyn Lewis kits with ome shocks are all pin-pin.

I've got the same shocks installed and some roost shields coming my way after worrying that something could break... how exactly did you have modify yours in order to fit? Thanks!

Yes you are right they are pin-pin all around. Great and simple system that works. Thumbs Up

first of all, you need the adapters, prolinx supplied mine, they were the prototypes...

are you running remote res? that's when its fun (like mine) if they are standard you should be good to go with the adapters.

I'd say these are a easier bet...

Take a look here…




The adapters go on the end of the shaft so you have something to mount the shields too.

Otherwise they don’t grip / stay on the shaft

On the fronts it’s a nightmare, plenty of dremel work was involved to get it to fit with my setup… it’s all adrenaline 4x4 / Gwynn Lewis now

Just waiting for some rivnuts to arrive so I can fit the proper hose clips


Awesome set up - looking to do something similar but trying to decide if I want to go with a pin pin rear with a longer remote reservoir or normal rears.

Can you share the shock part number you used for the rear?

They’re just the standard fronts.
