|  rear suspension really stiff any suggestions
I am not getting hardly any movement out of my rear suspension if i back up against and object with only one tire up against it, it will not flex it picks both back tires up same thing going forward no flex... 30 weight oil 2 hole pistons in shocks, white springs and the upper links are mounted in the lowest furthest back hole in the chassis. the shocks are laid down as far as i can get them and no flex.. what set up are you running if its working....

Did you fill your shocks up to much ? If there is to much oil in them they wont move,

Ya make sure the shocks will cycle smoothly before they go on the car. Other wise that is the same set up I am running and it works fine

The binding is probably occurring at your upper shock mounts. Remove the rubber grommets that the manual tells you to install in the upper shock eyelets and replace them with some of the extra plastic end balls that come in your kit.

what pistons did you use in the shocks? i sat there for like an hour w/ an exacto knofe trying to get the dual rate pistons to slide smoothly in the shock body. i gave up and wen with the stock 2 hole pistons. And again, over filling, or binding will cause what you're talkin about. pics can help us help you too |

The problem could be in your link mounting positions. I will bet your upper link is mounted too low on the chassis | |
