[QUOTE="bobo, post: 262023, member: 861"] Another thing you can do to help the air shocks is put a heavier weight oil in them. Fox's come with 5wt not sure about SAW's. Went to a 10 wt oil & increased oil volume over stock & it vastly improved the shocks performance on a heavy rig with 2.0's front and rear. Extra volume & heavier oil will make the "spring rate" increase faster as the shock compresses which will help with the body roll. To add oil let the nitrogen out, take the shock off, remove the valve core, remove all of the oil into a clean container, measure the new oil volume required, put some 1/4" clear hose over the schrader valve, compress the shock, stick hose in oil, pull shock shaft out. Will pull oil into shock like a big syringe. We use fork oil like you can get at any bike shop. I would defiantly try this first. Oil is cheap and all it takes is a little time. Won't make it any worse :****: Jeremy [/QUOTE]
