i had Wayne from altech tune the shocks. he did a great job and the truck felt good in the whoops. unfortunately a am not as happy with the shocks themselves.
not only where the f-o-a's not valved as i specified, but 4 brand new shocks all had metal flakes in them. within 10 mile into the race the shocks felt like crap in the rear, even with me ditching my spare it was bottoming out like crazy and just sloppy in the rear. i think i lost about 1-2" of ride height in the rear, im assuming theres not much nitrogen left in the shocks. ill be going with some bilsteins as soon as i can afford it.

Would you mind telling car 4509 about it.
