Not much difference, it's just the welded in ones are sturdier, and truth be told, most people thay buy the bolt-in versions end up welding them anyway.

Yeah, they are basically the same design, just have bolts and junk. Some have the bolts never back out, some have them back out every other day, its a crapshoot. Personally, im going to be going with the weld in kind cuz they are cheaper and id end up getting the bolt in ones welded in anyways. And for future posts, dont post in all capitols, it just isnt necessary and it kinda pisses off some of the members for some reason.

cause CAPS are SHOUTING.


I like the weld in, cause then no movement, bolts can back out, and htey could move a bit.

Be easy on him, look at his signature and information, all caps. Either he is new to Al Gore's creation, or he was in a hurry to post. I answered, you guys summed up, were all good. The most important thing is that we realise Xride has poor taste in shocks.

I have seen sets similar to the slp ones on ebay. I would think they are probably just as good and a bit cheaper. You just have to paint them. I might buy a set and let everyone know how they are. I need some BAD! oops, all caps on that one, DOH!!
