[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1397526, member: 15940"] A while back I got a set of BigBore 3.5" shocks to replace the HPI 4 3/8" shocks I was running. I also got some gold springs. So I threw them on and they were an improvement over the HPI's mainly due to the length and the softer springs. So now its time to start tweeking thhem because they still seem too stiff. So I went and pulled them apart and put the 3 hole valves in them and 40w shock oil. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-59.jpg[/IMG] Something else I did was lower the belly to 3" from like 3 3/8". I also revamped the upper mount location and decided to mount them to the body. I am going to revamp my body panels to give some more support for the shock area. But I went and ran it and its a big improvement. I also need to get some lighter shock oil because I think its still a tad too stiff and will try going with 20w shock oil to see how that reacts.
