| Static shock sag
How can I achieve the most static sag with my stock icon shocks? Looking to Have about 90% of the travel already compressed so To speak so to lower truck but keep lots Of down travel for flex? |

For my wroncho i use super soft springs 2000 weight shock oil and adjusted the angle of my upper shock mount. I have about 60% down travel and 40 % up travel. There are some venders that make shock keys to change the upper shock angle.

Sprung weight helps. I run a rather heavy truck. I use wraith front Springs and still sags 80% into it. Leafs on rear running three and same result. About 80% sag. With 30W oil makes for a very realistic suspension action. And excellent droop characteristics.
