in 1 single pack of LOSB2909 you get two of each number.
#1 x 2
#2 x 2
...
#5 x 2
So to answer your question if you need to buy 1 or two packs... answer is depends.

Box stock all 4 shocks have the #3 piston.

If you want the ability to have more than 2 shocks to have the same pistons(assuming you don't want #3 pistons) then yes you need 2 packs. Otherwise 1 pack should be good. Of course they are cheap and it never hurts to have backups. So I don't think buying 2 packs would break you either, however IMOP not needed.

If you are trying Lane's or Dunford setup then you only need 1 pack, as you only need to change out the rear pistons to #4's.

Everyone should strive to be like him. Good job; RC_Woody for president!

I now propose a new term:

WWRCWD

"What would RC Woody Do?"

Before you do something of question, ask yourself... WWRCWD?

If you have stock...

Not saying it wont effect your steering handling because it will and that is another discussion..., so just for jumps... adjusting your springs and/or oil weight can have an effect,combined with thottle control. Anti squat could effect as well, but wont go into that. Its all about how you approach and release from the jump/bump.

The basic concept is you want your rear end to sag more or quicker than the front (causing the front to be higher) or you want a quicker rebound in the front.(quicker spring in the front will keep your nose up)

So depending your ride height, first thing I would do if I was on the track racing for a quick fix, is lower the rear end i.e. move the shock collars up so your springs are not as compressed.(alternatively screw the front the collars down a bit, for more compression in the front) This however is for a minor adjustment. It might be just enough though.

I haven't heard of anybody running lower than a 27mm ride height,(I wouldn't go any higher than a 29 ride height in the front) so I wouldn't lower your rear end much more than that using the spring collars.

if you have done all that already, on your throttle control, are you applying constant throttle over the jump? If so, then try giving a little extra blip of throttle right at the top(idea is to get your rear end to sag a little more)

If you are have time and can adjust your oil(thicker front or lower rear).
Stock is 30wt all around. Generally its more so with 2wd drive, but typically the front is a little heavier weight oil in the front than in the back. On a 4wd usually its more even, most don't go much different that 2.5wt difference from front to back.

So there are some ideas, give us a little more info and we might be able to help you out more.
