Oil wt suggestions for my setup.

[SledgehogRC]

After adding an aluminum bumper to my truck, the front "sags" a bit from the extra weight and the back sits too high for my liking. I got some white springs (one step softer from stock) for the rear to even it out.
Figured I might as well replace the stock shock oil while I'm at it as well.

Any suggestions what I should try out in there?
Options are:
AE 37.5w
TLR 15w, 30w, 35w, 37.5w, 45wt

Was thinking of going lighter with 15w. Also had someone tell me in one of my Facebook rc groups that I should go thicker in the rear to stop torque twist, but he also didn't have any of the hard plastics like I do. i.e. (front/rear chassis braces and servo mount)

Quick vid of the front.

Hey thanks! That's pretty much the answer I was looking for. My truck is also on the light side. Mainly stock with the only weight added being SSD diff covers front/rear and aluminum wheels.


Also subbed to your channel I really need to get a better camera and a gimbal soon for mine,

Also subbed! I have been looking into this as well. Some info in this thread I started:

Oh, and although I have some very cool SSD jelly bean stamped steelies meant for this rig, I'm running cast metal Gmades instead. The added weight helps, and they look ugly, which suits my truck.

Might you have a link to those GMade wheels?Sounds like something I’d like too lol!
