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.
front
1.5 x 2 flat piston
Blue Ae spring
35w oil
21mm ride height
Rear
1.6 x 2 flat piston
Green Ae spring
30w oil
20mm ride height
Get rid of the 45w oil & ignore who ever recommended.
You cannot expect a 4w to land as good as a buggy.
Practice landing on the down hill of the jumps.
