| stock is 1 hole piston and I went with 30wt silicone oil. I think I want to try 50 though to slow it down some. |

| Agree with william here, i tried the 2 hole setup and had almost no flow control on the shock, so i went back to the 1 hole piston and 90wt oil on the three shocks and 100wt on the torque twist side  |

| Stock pistons and 40 weight oil in the back shocks, stock oil in the front shocks. I like some shock action so I can have some suspension action goofin around in the woods. |

| Is it all floppy? No matter the answer, I'd just use the stock piston, and tune with oil weight. If it's floppy, go a little thicker with the oil. Still floppy, go a little thicker. When it gets bouncy (bouncier really as it's already bouncy) driving around then you've gone too thick with the oil, and should consider a stiffer spring. |

|  I went 2 hole piston and stock shock oil on all four. On the rear I moved the shock link to the #1 hole (top left) on the cantalever. That gave full articulation to the front and saves the rear shocks from bottoming out. While keeping all the links in stock set up.  I put the yellow soft springs in the front and blue med. in the rear. |
