Default Shotgun Shock (singular)

I'm working and bored lol - so I just thought I would take a minute and clear the air because 3/4 of the people have it wrong ~ It's Shotgun Shock not shocks

JD designed a sealed 1 piece air ride system. It's not 2 separate shocks like a stock shock, it is 1 shock.

(ps: I am by no means trying to be a ***** here)

Man, that must have been driving you nuts.

But if people are saying "shotgun shocks" maybe they are talking about more than one set. "I have two friends that have shotgun shocks and love them."

Only busting chops here too

Perhaps the admins should create a sub-forum for shotgun shock discussions...
