[QUOTE="cushmaneaglerider, post: 406554, member: 613"] I think air shocks come with stiff rebound valving because most peoples link setup is terrible. Fox 2.5 air shocks come 40 compression(light)/90 rebound(stiff). Fast in/slow out. When going over bumps the shock shaft packs in the tube resulting in a harsh ride. The weight of my rig is a little too much for 2.0's and not enough for 2.5's. I have 16" 2.5's with 7"shaft showing. With 90 rebound the shock does not have time to extend in between bumps. I lightened the rebound to 70 front 60 rear. This let the shocks rebound(push out) faster making for a much better ride quality, This helped more the words can describe. . The 40 compression is about as light as you can go, 30 is the lightest shim stack offered. I then installed a flutter shack on the compression side to lessen the harshness of hitting washouts and ruts. The flutter stack lets the shock compress the first couple inches very fast and soft then the 40 stack takes over before you blow through the shock. Valve stacks are cheap and when setup correctly the best money you can spend on your rig. [/QUOTE]
