Anyone have opinions on paying someone to go out and tune shocks? I need to tune but I don't know what to look/feel for. I think if I make some kind of appointment/financial commitment I might actually accomplish something.

Tagging along when another group is tuning usually ends up a waste of time because they are focused on their vehicles. I would like to have someone focus on tuning my vehicle.

Any thoughts?

 

I could see this being very beneficial. Might get expensive, but it's like anything, having professionals do it cost $$$ but will be worth it in the end.

I'd ask around the race community to find a reputable company and what not

 

Hit up DialedShockPrep, Jim

Ill try and come out maybe we can split the cost?

 

You can also take a video and send to King or DSM and they will give recommendations at no charge

 

That's the best way for someone who isn't involved in racing to get their suspension dialed, if they can afford it.

For a good tuning day, I would expect to spend $500-1000.

You'll most likely need to remove/replace your own shocks from the truck. That generally is not part of the tuner's job.

 

King charges about that much for a few hours. That's the ballpark I was expecting.

I can take videos but what am I shooting? Outside the truck looking at the whole vehicle? Or suspension videos looking at specific sections?

I figured there would be some wrenching involved.

 

You could probably get in on a small group at $250 per truck with some 21 yr old kid from the high desert doing the tuning.

For $1000 you basically get the authority on off road shock tuning though.

 

You want a video from the side so they can see what your tires are doing relative to the ground. That way they can see if the bump/whoop is compressing the suspension enough or too far, and same with rebound before the next whoop. Obviously not as good as having a professional come on a ride along but I have heard they can get pretty close from video

 

Or Hit up Kurt from Dc Shock services. See how much he charges.

 

Who did? I had nobody in particular in mind. The 21 yr old kid from the high-desert was just a general stereotype for bargain fabricators and experts LOL.

 

Actually Dialed Shock Services "Kevin" has worked on one of Camburg's old Race Ranger "Dezertrangers.com top banner truck", and many other trucks with good results.

 

Ive also been out in the desert with this dude... He knows his shit.

 

I'd be down to split cost

 

Say what?

 

Haha
