I had some time this weekend so I swapped in new shocks on the Fury. Rears went in exactly to spec, although I almost couldn’t get the top bolts torqued down right enough with my my shortish 3/8 torque wrench.
On the fronts it looks like the upper bushing is different in the FSM than what comes with the new shocks and torquing the top nuts to 25lb wasn’t possible because the new rubber just kept compressing until I ruined a shock by threading the nut past the shaft threading. On the second attempt I just snugged them up to what felt reasonable.
All in all it took longer than it should, but it should be worth it.
