|  1000 wt diff fluid for shocks?
I was reading an article last night on a competition crawler setup from a pro and he was saying he used 1000 wt diff oil in the shocks so I was wondering if anyone else has tried this in a creeper or if anyone has a good suggestion on what may be working great for them and why.Whats the best setup?

so I am thinking that 1000wt would make me crazy has anyone used anything other than what comes in the kit? I guess I was just looking for a little feedback in that department

Stock should be 25wt oil. If you want slow the cycle action down a bit, try something in the 55 range or higher. You'll have to experiment with different weights to find what works for your driving style. You don't run sprung shocks with diff grease but it works for droop setups. Droop shock configs are a whole different animal |
