    Chris your an animal! [​IMG] You need to put some dam coilovers on that beast before you break something. Aaron, your rear shocks look like there's not enough compression valving. You might start by closing the long tube on compression just a bit. In all fairness those are some long ass whoops. You have to be bookin it.

    The video is kinda deceiving, we picked a section where the whoops were pretty close together, about half a mile before rock pile. I was at 35-40, but didnt want to push it because it was my first time out since fixing the spindles and I still dont have anything gusseted.

    Good point!
    I've found the sweet spot for my non-long travel taco is about 50-60mph. Anything less than that and I lose rythm and start getting bucking. Of course the right valving and woop size plays a role in what speed is appropriate. Still seems like your compression is light. It takes a while for your bed to settle down after you hit something. Lucky for you those bypasses are easily adjustable. I wish I had some :cool:
