I'm in the same situation. Live too far from track (60 miles) for much testing except race day. Thats why I'm always there as early as possible. Can you or anyone else elaborate on "feels right on the bench" ??? I do the drop test from a few inches. Not 100% sure I'm looking at the right thing. Also heard someone say the other day that front and rear should raise at the same speed if you press truck down and release????
Don't remember ever discussing "bench testing" on here but I have been curious of the different techniques and opinions.
