Noticed my rear drop shocks are on upside down....affect ride or no?

Sooooooo I noticed the shocks are on upside down.....LMAO! Will this affect ride quality or drop height at all???????

 

[ILLEGAL REGAL]

not all shocks are meant to work upside down, usually just high dollar shocks can do that.

The valve inside a shock is meant to work right side up. fluid passes a certain way to dampen and a certain way to recoil. there is potential for damage to the shock. definately want to turn then around.

You definately need to flip them the right way, water could also get down in the boot easier if they're upside down and ruin the shock very quickly.

Ya Im going to switch em, hopefully this fixes some of the "bounce" in the back!

got them flipped and def. not as bouncy back there, rides 100x better! Wheeeew, what a relief!
