| Less flex after yeah racing desert lizard shocks?
My stock shocks were leaking and loose but they had a lot of travel. New ones seem to be stiffer (they compress most of the way) it seems like the suspension has a lot less flex. 90mm. Normal? Maybe I should invest in a higher quality shock? I am using the 1 soft spring inside that’s it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Edit, iirc those are internal spring shocks, I'm not a fan of this setup due to the mess you have to deal with to swap springs. This also created a 100% droop setup, which I'm also not a fan of, like to have some up and down travel when the truck is sitting at ride height. Also less travel is sometimes better crawling, IME I don't like tons of flex and suspension travel, ymmv. Last edited by Natedog; 11-25-2019 at 11:04 AM. | |

Less flex can be better for crawling. I have the Desert Lizard shocks on my Ascender and like them. I have them in the "mostly" droop setup. I just had to go from the soft to medium short springs supporting the truck. I have the soft springs in the rebound position. My truck did great with the soft setup until I modified the battery tray to go to a comp, the extra sprung weight was completely bottoming out the softs.

This is because the displacement of the shock shaft increases the pressure inside the body of the shock. Also I only fill mine like 50-75% of oil. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Last edited by Voodoobrew; 11-25-2019 at 09:06 PM. | |
