Im just asking you guys here if you know the best way to run your stock shocks on your pro pulse.
I want to make them stiffer so that the dont bottom out as easly.

And if you also want better compression try running your shocks upside down....this is good especially if your doing a lot of jumps.....you wont get oil leakage from the bladder.

If you take a look at this pic you can see that the shocks are upside down.

ok can you reccommmend some stiffer and better shocks.
What about the pp alluminum shocks but they are pricey and the rc18t look just as good for less money.
