Just ordered another FT M-Force!
How many FT M-force shocks have you blown?
I just noticed an oil drip under my jeep, and found the suspect! Front passenger side shock! I had to replace the passenger side rear a few months ago, and now I'm replacing the pasenger side front!
Anyone else blown a pair of the M-force shocks?

I dont have M-Force shocks on mine, but my brother has them on his FT LA TJ and he has blown all 4 of them now, all at different times. Our dad has them also and he has replaced 3 of his four shocks so far

Update
Ok: 1st: David at Northridge is awesome! Best response time, and tries his best!
2: FT apparently (hmmmm!) Has switched to a Bilstein shock! So I now have two front shocks coming.
3: Yes, I wheel the snot out of my JK, but then again, I bought an "ultimate"lift to wheel the snot out of it! However, I'm getting tired of fixing my suspension every time I wheel. I don't think I'm over flexing, I have the appropriate bumpstops, and my drop is somewhat limitied, since I wheel a Rubicon, the sway bar disconnects, but still acts as a limiter. If that isn't the case, I'm running a 3" lift and the shocks spec'd for thta lift!
Anyway, the jeep is on the mend, and I'll pay to ship my shocks back to FT for shits and giggles, who knows, maybe they'll actually warranty something!
