I am at 45wt front and rear with flat 1.5 hole pistons. 2 limiters in the rear one in the front. I've talked to the local guys and everyone runs 30-35wt and considers that "stiffer". I have watched endless videos on how to build the shocks to make sure it wasnt me but i am honestly at a loss for what is going on. I'm hoping someone knows what is going on and can help me out.
What springs are you running? What shock positions? Are the 1.5 pistons 3 hole or 2 hole?
I am running the maifield setup from warehouse 3. But I am using 40wt frt. The rest is the same as his setup. I rarely if ever bottom out.
Biggest thing is making sure you dont land flat. You need to downside jumps.
