Shock Oil

[alfred]

Okay guys need some help with the shock oil, really dont know which to use. I went to my lhs and got the Trinity oil set, the weights are 25, 30, 35. Remember please that this is my very first time dwelling into offroad territory.

I would try 30 first, as you can go up/down from there as you see fit.

generally you'll want slightly softer in the rear, but that is done with the spring rates and not the oil for off-road cars.

however I have never dealt with a 4wd stadium truck before so it may be the opposit :)

so what if i do 25 for the front and 30 for the rear.

there's only one way to find out how the car will react...

[alfred]

hard to know the true outcome with the oil, blew out my servo yesterday before i got a chance to use it.

im using 40wt up front with soft springs
rear-40wt also with med spring---gonna change it to 35wt

so it seems to me that i need to put a heavier weight up front a less weight in the back. I havent gotten new springs yet, still using the stock springs.
