Re: Decent Shocks

what tacorunner is saying adding compression valving up front. so when you hit those big bumps you wont bottom to the stops right away and make the whole truck move upward. from my understanding when crawling/driving slow the valving doesn't play a big part because of the bypasses in the shock piston as it does with going fast and hitting whoops. so crawling performance shouldn't suffer. maybe tacorunner could chime in on this.

also i checked and i did post a picture of my shocks in your thread. i still need to get around at mounting my front ones. that was as vertical as i could get it without going through the bed. the 10's do limit my droop by an inch but I'm not to worried about it because if i went to 12's they would have to be touching in the middle of the top mount and would actually use less travel then the 10's because of the angle. plus body roll would increase and more valving would be needed to get the same amount of damping because they would be less efficient at that angle so i stayed with 10's.
