Tuned Yeti XL suspension

[BrandonM95]

I've been working on tuning my suspension over the past couple of weeks. I wasn't happy with the way the truck handled under speed and bumps right out of the box so I made the following adjustments. It mobs really well now and tracks amazingly through the bumps and jumps.

see youtube video description for details.
watch in 4K resolution on a computer for best detail.

Haha, I just poach the local construction sites during the weekends, that's all. This is a drainage field at a new church that went up.

Saturdays fun



Mickey Thompson MTZs with their stock foams an additional 1" of craft store foam on each side to bulge sidewall and help protect the beadlock screws.
