Long Travel BS Thread

LOL compression and rebound will vary with speed of the shock....of course

So Aaron, if you wanna stop your truck from bucking you off the jump and your still on the gas at a comfortable speed, repeately. Slow down the rebound, run your rebound tube in more so its putting more pressure on the oil and less volume to flow through as the shock comes back down and out making it harder to rebound faster. Make sense?

If that doesnt help then you need to slow down the rebound with physical valving, the bypass quick adjustment might be enough to do it.

 

Compression and rebound work together, but dont affect one another...

Increasing or decreasing rebound wont change your compression valving or compression force, it might just feel different with the change of rebound. It wont make it softer tho or less dampen

 

Turn it in (clockwise) to slow down how fast the axle drops out (rebound). If you go too far it will load up over the whoops and actually suck the back of the truck lower to the ground.

 

Yep packing is the worst

 

Ok, sounds like a plan, so I will adjust it in, try it out, if it still bucks, adjust in more, if it doesnt, leave as is and see how it feels over the whoops.

 

slight change of subject, who all is planning on going to the Baja 500 this year?

 

The standard is to have your rebound tubes all the way open on leaf sprung trucks. from what I've read leafs don't have the ability to buck you because of rebound that might be more of a compression problem.

Links are a whole different story though

 

You look pretty bucked in your sig....Or did you let off at the lip?

 

lol

 

I have bucking problems but i think i just need more weight in the rear. Never tore into the bypasses so no clue about valving lol

 

Ya definitely have your weight set up before dickin with valving, it will throw everything off. Thats whats holding me up right now, no spare tire yet.

 

thing is wiiiiiiiiiide

 

Thats what she said!!

 

Alright!. Im gunna take your word for it! haha.

WHAT ARE THESES?!?!!!??!

 

3.0 OE Raptor replacement CO's

 

Deeyyummm. Time for my dad to upgrade his shit.

 

I was told that trophy trucks are a little weight bias to the rear to keep nose diving from happening. At least that what my buddy told me. He built one in his garage with his son. Cost about 150k to build.
