Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
Noticed it more on compression than rebound for what that is worth. Track hack will have a slightly improved feel.
Never used one on a shock with a bladder but I assume results would be similar.
I’m due here soon for a service soon so was thinking of going with this one. If you recommend them Mr Robinson I’m game to try 👍🏻
Being they are a bushing I don't think they have the service life of the stock band, but after a couple of years of using them they seem to be holding up really well. At only $15 you can easily afford to replace them at every service if you need that peace of mind.

No need to fight it or do any voodoo to get it on and fit properly. So simple a caveman can do it.

. I only had threadlocker blue should I go get threadlocker red. The red color on the bushings is just from the towels I used to clean it
Put it in the shock body and see if it closes up. It may just need a little "normalizing" after being sprung open during installation. It looks like it will be okay.
These bands are OE on some high end shocks, like the new WP XACT Pro Super Trax shock.
Do you happen to have a rubber or plastic soft jaw insert for your vise as well? Maybe ever so slightly kiss the edges together the tiniest amount to see if the gap will close before inserting it in the body if it is too right to insert as is.
Also good to know: “These bands are OE on some high end shocks, like the new WP XACT Pro Super Trax shock.”
I'm worried about the piston shaft bolt. It looks like enzo replaced it with a regular bolt with just red threadlocker. I only put blue threadlocker. IDK if the enzo bolt is a friction locking type bolt but I wish I payed better attention.
