    Sand bags aren't going to fix the slow rebound....unless they are mounted on the axle.

    yeah thats what id do!

    and you can take off your tire and disconnect your spindle from your LCA, grab your lca and see if you can move it from the front of the truck torwards the back, if you can id be willing to bet you need bushings.
    right i meant just for a better ride for now, and to help the springs break in.
    i dont really know anything about rebound and compression so ill just ask questions about that part and read haha :)

    Your leaf pack is brand new it needs time to break in plus with the extra leaf u will be stiff for awhile

    I don't even know where to start with my fox smoothies. I may just leave them and get king bypass. But what's a general tune to start at on those for a dclb? Or if anyone knows any tune tips for fox

    They have different numbers for telling. Mine is 25/75 or something.
    Which Is softer than anything on their chart and the slowest rebound on the chart. Someone is fuggin with me I think

    :confused:
    Wat? Fox valve shims range from .006" to .020" thick.
    WTF is 25/75? Are you going off what someone told you or that's what you measured?
