[QUOTE="andreb, post: 1037404, member: 16801"] Daniel, +3 on springs probably also means a higher spring rate. You'll need to adjust the shocks to compensate. I am sure the spring or shock supplier can provide you with baseline settings so you should start there. If you can't find any data I'd start somewhere in the middle and go from there. I suspect you have too much compression dialed in and that's what is producing the "not really smooth" feel. On each adjuster start by turning them in, + or clockwise until it stops. Now turn them out, - or counter-clockwise until it stops and count the number of clicks. Divide by two and you get your half way point. Always adjust shocks by going fully in then counting the clicks out to get what you want. Most shock adjusters or "clickers" work similar to a water hose valve. Turning it in, + or clockwise closes the valve. The opposite is true to open. So + is actually closing the valving while - is actually opening the valve. I haven't set up a lot of trucks but from the way my stock Raptor rides my guess is it has a little less compression valving then rebound. Maybe try giving them a few less clicks of compression valving to start with. There are other guys running this same set up but not sure if anyone ever really fools with the shock settings. Maybe one of them can chime in? If not I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
