Probably not. Not to mention 4 shocks will be a little heavy for a carry on.

Not when extended. You can compress them, & use tape to hold them down compressed. That's how I boxed the 4 CLS shocks I sold.

I can't even imagine why you would want to take shocks in your carry on

I bought em , Good looks again on them, theyre going in as soon as spring rolls around here

And the only way they were fitting in carryon luggage is if its the only thing in there. If your planning on bringing clothes on this trip your gonna have to check something

I left mine in the box fuzzy02CLS put it in, taped it up real good and used curbside check-in

What I meant is why would you even want to transport them by plane.

and you REALLY couldn't figure that one out? Come on man, you've got more brain power then that.

My first guess would be he is some place, bought the shocks, and needs to fly home. But the possibilities are probably numerous

Yea I do have more brain power than that

I just wanted to hear the exact reason from him. Becuase shocks are not something you usually purchase when your a plane trip from home. Not your usual souvenir, although I wouldn't mind if someone brought me shocks back from a trip

My guess is that he's trying to save taxes/duties into Canada.... however, I think customs may catch on if they see 4 Koni shocks in a little carry-on

That's why they call him Mega Moderator :-)

Going to NYC for a weekend. Taking only carry on.

Pick up shox. Put in carry on. Check bags in on the way back.

Mostly bcs the place I wanna buy from doesn't ship to canada (ebay). And even if they did, UPS rapes you with brokerage/handling fees.
