Hi,
One thing to consider is that the Stainless Steel Piston Rod on the shock may now travel deeper into the Shock Body than it did before.
Consequently, any dirt, debris or scratches will now pass through the Seal at the top of the Shock Body and could cause wear. The failure of this Seal is the #1 reason Shocks fail. To insure that this
new section of the Piston Rod does not abrade the Seal, when you have the suspension unloaded (raised), I'd carefully inspect it for nicks, dirt, debris and such. I might even go so far as to polish it with say a Dremel with a Felt Pad using some water or WD-40 as a lubricant. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
