-nut holding top of shock is too tight
-possible bent hinge pin but that is very rare
-sway bar set screws too tight (should easily wiggle back and forth)
-rear hinge pin holder too tight. (I see this more than you think)

So the arms fall free without tires and not shocks. The shocks will fall free prior to mounting them to the arm?

Just going through check lists without being able to see the truck!

If the shocks don't rebound, there is *something* binding (either in the shock or in the arm), or your springs aren't springs. It's impossible for us to find out what is binding. You need to find the binding part yourself by process of elimination. We can keep coming up with stuff to check, and you can keep saying "that's not it", but in the end it has to be one of those things.
Being able to move something by hand doesn't mean it's not binding. It could mean you just use enough force, however little that may be, to overcome the binding.

Post a video of how the suspension is not moving enough. Or just stop playing silly games

I remember once a binding issue that had me stumped, turned out to be my balls were dirty... in my rod... ends that were causing it.

Does somebody have any tips for racing the SCTE below 0 degree celsius?
Diff oil weight, shock oil weight?
On a loose surface!

Here is a ratio chart i got off of one of my apps for anyone wondering what the difference in ratio was for the 39 and 41 tooth spurs. Seems like it would be going up or down like half a tooth on the pinion.
