is the rear stiff (zip tie test) or is the rear packing?
I hit some pretty big bumps and tried to get the suspension to work without violently bottoming it out. The front compressed almost all the way and when the rear hit the suspension didnt compress and the back tires came off the ground. This happened multiple times on different bumps. You can see how much the front rubber bumper thing on the shaft went down and the dirt on the rear shows the same thing.
With 8's and all bleeds open I hope it's not packing, that would bring the suck.
it probably is. bleed only helps/hurts in the slow speed stuff.
All 4 shocks have 10 compression 8 rebound. Fronts have a single 12 on the top of the pyramid like bdkw1 recommended. I didn't have enough to do the same to the rear but that wouldn't have helped in this situation anyways. This picture is the front stack with the 12 on top.
I agree with you that its alot of information for someone that has no idea what they're doing. But I came here to benefit from the knowledge and experience of others and pretty much do exactly what they tell me to do. The front came out pretty damn good and I can feel the effect of the single .012 shim on top of the pyramid. It definitely helped with bottoming out on big stuff while still being comfortable at lower speeds. I should probably do split spring rates too but these are what was in stock and I didn't want to wait 5-6 weeks.
