It's not droop I was thinking about but bottoming out at full bump. Idk what the hell I'm doing tho. Just a little thought.

I just got the shocks valved to where it rides nice. I also have a little room to put weight in the rear and it would still handle great. IMO the 7" shackle is way too much, you aren't running a 64 pack under there. And if you're unsure how to determine what size shock to run, check camburgs website...brand will also be a factor in size

Yeah what Mac said I have a drop hanger and shackle so u still think I should move back to stock or just run stock length hanger and shackle and see what that does? I should probably just cycle it to see what's best?

Edit: forgot to ask are your camburg shackles stock length?

good choice, i'll x2

You really need to sit down and figure out what you want out of the truck. i know so many people that get carried away with there builds and regret it later. Do you want a full blown race truck? clean prerunner? badass prerunner? etc.

Break down your leaf pack, cycle it with all your variables... stock shackle, 7" shackle, stock hanger position, moved back a couple inches... where you located? This stuff is really simple

sorry forgot to reply to this and just been thinking of this question.. i want this truck to just be a really fun desert truck that is very capable and maybe race it later on when i can buy a daily driver.

Finally got my bypasses installed thanks to Getch!

We were messing with the compression tubes but it wasn't making much of a difference. It drives ok until it reaches the last bit of shock and it bottoms out on the stock bumps in the rear

It's actually not to bad.. Of course it's not like stock but my buddy's is a lot worse. Yours is horrible or what?

How do u know when you need a rearch? And also should my shackle be pointed like \ or straight up and down?

should be stright or slightly leaned forward.

Alright thanks I think I'm gonna push my hangers forward and see how the truck handles. I moved it back but the shackle is pointed forward kind of and I feel like it should be a little smoother. Do u know when it's time for a rearch?

post some pics of the rear setup. how much up travel do you have from ride height? how much nitrogen pressure are you running?

We can compare them to mine, to see difference between new and used.

What Do you want the pictures of shackles? I'm running 150. I'm kind of a noob but how do I measure up travel

The packs! To see the difference in arch, yours might have just been re arched.

Oh yea

mainly the shackle angle. and up travel is the distance from the axle to bump stop when its sitting on its own weight.

yeah mine is terrible, i love the way it handles, but I cant even make a u turn on a 4 lane road. only frustrating thing about it

Alright I will do both of these things tomorrow

Heres some video of the whoops I'll try to get some more up too. What do you guys think? Any advice on shock tuning?

Nice truck what pack are you running?
