i ran 15wt in my first gecko clod.... so anything in between 15 and 500 and you should be good but seriously trial and error try 35wt and see how that preforms too stiff, try lighter spring and still too stiff try 20wt so on and so forth | |

I had a full droop tuber with stock WK shocks and 80 wt oil. Worked pretty well, but I wanted to change it up a bit. Now I'm using the stock WK springs but cut ~1cm off. Springs are a little stiffer now, but it works okay. The 80wt's too stiff, so I'm going to try 40wt. If that doesn't work I'll try 60wt, and if that doesn't work... etc etc etc... Trial and error is really the only way to figure it out. Shock oil is SO cheap ($3.50 for a bottle good enough for probably 16 shocks), so it doesn't hurt to just buy a couple different weights and go for it! |

Can you tell us a little more about what your setup is? What rig? Sprung, droop, etc...

So looks to be pretty open to shock oils.
