hah yeah yeah, I'm going to order the bedsides in the next week or two so I can get it road legal again(I want to drive it so bad!) I have the front fenders I just need to find some spare time and throw them on

I'll leave you with this for now..although looking at this picture I need to figure out why the rear suspension isnt drooping all the way. the shackle is almost vertical still, but when I droop it manually it goes further.

check the pressure on your charge on the shocks, if not it could be the rebound in the valving. you said you bought them second hand yes?

I got them from someone but they were brand new in box. Not sure what the valving is like, other than that it was setup for the back of a ranger. I had 175psi in them to start, then I let some out after the first day cause it seemed way too hard, and then it was too soft and put 160psi back in.

yeah I'll probably make a post of the build on there finally, I just want to do a little more inspection. But I'm sure I can get an answer over there pretty quick.

Its not droping because when its flying through the air the axle is free floating. What it is in the picture is its nurtal point. Jacked up in your driveway its gonna drop all the way because of the weight of the axle and tires.

yeah no matter what its suppose to droop to the limit straps. So far what I've figured out is a valving problem, I need to speed up the rebound. I should be running about an 8stck on rebound and a 12 on comp. I guess stock I'm sitting at about 12 rebound and 10 comp. I should be able to maybe just flip the stacks around and take out all the bleed screws and it should ride alot better. this would be great cause i can sit and do it at the bench myself and not have to buy new stacks and just get them filled by my local nitro guy.

so looks like I get to do my first revalve, woot!
