Default Sidehilling

Hello,

I need assistance on side hilling my truck sucks at it. I'm running the stock tires with metal rims, and CI foams. Stock shocks and springs, very minimal stuff on the roof rack (sand ramps, sleeping bag)

You need to add weight down low. Maybe stiffen up the shocks for less body roll.

Stiffen up the foams and springs in the rear, you want it as planted as possible without it being totally solid. When the front is flexy, the rear mustn't be or it will flop.

Use CI Deuces wild foams.

Mount the shocks outside of the mounts on the axle.

Also increasing the track width will help as they are kinda narrow out of the box.

They already are mounted on the outside of the axle.

I still haven't added any weights to the wheels or anything. Ill try a little front wheel weights, and a stiffer rear springs. Don't want to make it wider fits in the fenders nicely now. I also have Crawler innovations dual stage foams.

I like 60% droop and super soft springs with 2000 weight shock oil. Slow the shock down. How are you running your shocks ???

Make sure the foams are correct. Im not a fan of the 2 stage(I'm a slow go guy) A little thicker oil and droop.

For me adding weight down low either in the tires or on the axles somehow and definitely better foams.....harder foams for me usually help due to.my rigs being heavy to begin with.

I'm running my shocks with the stock kit oil, and springs. I'm running the collars all the way up and no preload. I'm running CI foams with comp cut inners, and medium outers.
