[QUOTE="dubya_raptor, post: 1330734, member: 29813"] I'll try going down in psi some for the front and rear tires and see what difference that makes. I did open up the short compression tube in the rear bypass some and that helped. I guess the biggest difference I have with the new setup is that with certain bumps at low to medium speeds (20-45mph) the rear seems to bounce. It's hard to explain it, but its like a small tremor that kinda radiates into your head. I feel like a bobble head if that makes sense. The compression adjuster is fully open in the front. I do have some additional preload in the front coil overs. If I'm correct, that doesn't effect the spring rate of the linear coil, but increases the potential energy, correct? that means that the coil will droop faster, but will still compress at the same rate? Maybe taking out some preload would help.... I understand that these are racing shocks, and will be firmer. They perform great off road. Especially when hauling ass. I guess I assumed that these shocks would be compliant on road at their most "open" settings, and then provide more dampening off road at their most "closed" settings. I sometimes think it could be something as trivial as over torqued shackles. Thanks for all of the input guys, it is definitely pushing me in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
