on my savage x I've had a couple of bad landings & that thing just wont break! i ran it without a body once to tune it & got carried away landed upside down a couple of times or kept flipping it? i can't remember but the next day i noticed 3 of my front shocks were leaking because the caps moved up & to one side they were still on, just all chwecked! i refilled & screwed em back on & 2 tanks later theyre still ok! about the lst shocks they look freekin bad@$$!
 
Thanks man that helped alot. I was filling them up and pumping them then fully extending them and filling them up again lol Id say i had to much oil....

That's the problem. You are overfilling them. Go down to 35wt. for bashing.
When the shock is filled properly the shaft should not rebound at all without the springs installed.
The stockers can handle 12ft+ jumps all day long. The LST's will break easier than the stockers. Trust me, I know from experience.
