There are many who believe that the big bore springs coupled to the smaller bored shocks represents the best of both worlds. Just need a few extra parts to make it work.

I have a question for you all... well, a story of sorts. I've been running my trucks since I got it with the same shock setup that I bought it with (second hand). It's always seemed a bit loose in the rear end, especially when the track isn't wet down. It's a clay surface with loose dust on top.
Any way, the other day, just for kicks I changed the shock oil from 40f, 30r to 35f, 30r. Seemed to make the truck handle the bumpy stuff a bit better, but she was still a bit loose in the bum. So the next thing I did was change the front shock position from the nearest to center holes on the tower and inner most hold on the arms to the outer most hole on the tower and left the arm position unchanged. This made the truck way, way, way more predictable.

I thought it was supposed to work the other way around?
