    IBP's versus Bypasses

    Late to the party here. For most things 2.5s are better than 2.0’s. When your sprung mass starts to become equal to unsprung mass, 2.5’s can be problematic to tune and get a decent ride quality. Not impossible, but that setup sucks to tune either way. The initial crack pressure of...

    We have wheeled it 3 or 4 times since. Still great wheeling. Locals are out there all the time. Better trails than bear wallow. Bear wallow was just logged and several trails are still covered in pushover and tops from the logging operation.

    I mean usually the most logical easy answer is the truth. The pieces seem to fit together. The user name Blackbeard appears on several other forums as admin. I was given his name as a guy wanting to buy forums out of the wilmington area that fits his post about being 45 mins from the...

    I’m curious who it was. The posted in the myrtle beach keep thread, they were 45 mins north in NC. That’s only 1.5 hrs from me.

    Shock tuning

    When you get the coilover tuned well for great ride, you will most likely need a sway bar to combat body roll. If you have more sprung mass with light unsprung mass, or shocks mounted to the links in a leading/trailing arm fashion, as well as equal spring rates front and rear, sometimes you...

    Shock tuning

    Don’t start with a flutter stack. Start with getting a tradition pyramid stack as close as possible. Then introduce a .010 fulcrum. And note the change. Also only change one part of the valving at a time. I like to start with the rebound first, when it packs in, the ride quality is...
