7075rc rear shock tower

[Kaz the Minotaur]

I've mounted my 7075rc rear shock tower and it seems like the rear arms are pushed down (increasing rear ride height) as opposed to the front. Is anyone else's like this or is this right?

Are you running the shocks outside the cage or inside?

Inside the cage

See the droop screw found on the suspension arms.

They're the ones that push on the front and rear chassis to push the ride upward/downward

with the shocks on the inside you have to run the spring tension screw down a little to clear the cage. see above. If you don't like the tension you can run lighter springs.

I guess what I mean is that it seems that the shock mounting points are a little too close together, thus compressing the shock and forcing the arms way down. Maybe I don't have it installed right?

The upper mountings holes can't change but the lowers can. Mount them so the lower hole is as far out as they will go.

I already did.

Sorry to bring up an older thread, but my question applies to the discussion.

with the shocks on the inside you have to run the spring tension screw down a little to clear the cage. see above. If you don't like the tension you can run lighter springs.

What do you recommend for lighter springs on the rear of the Chimera? What have you (or others) been using?

 

[Ol' fart]

I assume there are lighter springs to be had but I'm running the stock ones and they are working for me.

If anyone has knowledge of lighter springs that fit the xb-e or chimera, I'd be interested in hearing from you. Thanks guys.
