what material are y'all using? and how are you going abouts the diameter? like...90% the diameter of the shock, or half of it? just guess and go? lol
i love eyeballing stuff!

i love eyeballing stuff!"Go to your local Wally World and go to the fabric section. Look around and find the lycra material. It is what female swimsuites are usually made of. Buy a yard of Lycra, go home measure the length of the springand give your self about an inch on each end extra. Cut the right length of Lycra then wrap around the spring and mark the diameter. Then sew it up the seam so it looks like a tube. turn inside out (so the seam is on the inside) and install on your shock."

...theres the intructions I used.

For the diameter, it depends if you want it to look like my maxx's you make the diameter smaller. and vis versa.

I really like mine!
