    Throw a couple hundred lbs in the bed over the axle to break them in for a bit

    I have about 500-600lbs already in the bed at all times lol. I’ll add 180lbs tomorrow. Does it matter where I put the weight? I put the gallons of water by the tailgate.

    Yes, try putting the weight right over the center of the rear axle and let them break in that way.

    So I adjust the the shocks, rode for over 2 weeks like this and its still jumpy in the rear, Ima remove another leaf and if its lower than the front ill just switch the shackles with 1/2” greasable shackles.

    SOLVED: I’m writting this for future purposes, hopefully this helps someone. I constantly have around 500lbs in the bed (hi roof shell, bunch of stuff in the bed) so I thought I needed the ome dakars (cs018r) w/ the aal so i ordered it and from the jump it was jumpy asf, ran it for a week no good. Next week I take off the 3rd leaf from the top (the aal in my case). Still Jumpy, run it like this for 2 weeks, its still jumpy. Theres too much spring, I have a 2” lift, Kings, tires are ran at 35psi ko2’s. I would flex the suspension and it still was jumpy, so I took off the 3rd leaf from the bottom and now it drives like a cadillac, nice and smooth. I still have about close to an inch higher in the rear but thats fine, itll settle down.
