    Shock Oil

    What is the prefered weight shock oil for backyard bashing?:) And am I right in thinking the heavier the weight shock oil the slower the shock moves back out and the slower that it compresses? Also has anybody tried shock oil used for mototcycles? Thanks, Ed S&E Motorsports

    Shock Oil

    I bought some 55wt shock oil tonight. I changed the oil in the front shocks tonight. I got it all back together and when pushing the front of the truck down it feels pretty much the same as it did before with the stock oil in there. Is this right?
