[QUOTE="Welderd, post: 35514, member: 144"] Need some help quick to get my buggy done took it out for testing last weekend, and it works with some minor tweaking needed. Major issue is suspension unloading. In 2wd rear and holding the front brakes I can set the buggy on the passenger side (on flat ground w/out moving) --- almost all the way of 16" shocks on the driverside and 1" from full compression on the pass side. 4wd it's not so bad until a left turn or climbing. I'll have some video of it soon. I did a moderate climb and carried the front left a few feet in the air. turning left and climbing a 3' wall carried it too and it felt bad. it's somewhat controllable with driving and winch controls but I don't think it's acceptable and will suck racing and trying to go faster front and rear 3 links with high panhards at ride height I have about 175-180psi in front shocks and 210 in rear with about 6" of shaft showing for compression shocks supposedly came with correct oil and valving - I asked about tweaking them and my sponsor is against it - says they're perfect for my app and to just add nitrogen Are the shocks to far in at top? something wrong with geometry? Doesn't do it in fwd only, and doesn't do anything weird in rev Only pics I have right now both pics are at full droop, no nitrogen in shocks rear suspension pic - shocks mount under the 2 inner bars that make the little "bed" area [ATTACH=full]140886[/ATTACH] front [ATTACH=full]140889[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
