MT suspension

[rampage idiot]

any ideas on this, ver 3 Mt stock suspension I have tryed every setting on the rear shocks and at high speed bumps the rear end always runs off the ground the front stays down, I have stock wheels & tires and CPI rear exit which is pretty heavy in my eyes, Different weight shock oil?

Yeah a heavier oil will slow down the bounce. Somtimes the factory does not fill the shocks full enough. I have found them about half full a couple of times.

any idea what weight would be good to start with

I just found an older post from Deluge looks like he is reccomending 35wt I will get some and try

 

[Guest]

That should work good for ya.

 

[Deluge]

35wt will work. I've been using 40wt, front and rear. Perfect setup for my driving style.

Do I need silicone based or petroleum based oil Hpi oil is petroleum based

 

[Deluge]

You can use either one. I use the HPI oil.
