rear shocks sagging real bad

[kracker055]

well my front shocks are doing great they are still stock. well all of my shocks are still stock tmaxx shocks. but the back is sagging really bad. it almost hits the ground at full throttle. and even if its just setting it droops down in the back. any sugestions?

first try putting a thicker preload spacer on, or thicker oil, or you could use a piston with smaller holes
or just go buy a set of integy msr8 shocks

Ryan did you try swapping them with any from the set that I gave you? If you did and they are still sagging we need to get you some preload spacers on the springs. I'll help you look at this too if you'd like. I've got plenty of oil if you are looking to rebuild your shocks. We can rebuild them but I'd suggest getting new shocks if that's the problem.

yea i put the new shocks on that you gave me and they still sag. so I'm up for anything

Do you have pre-load spacers (little black c-shaped things that snap around the shock body) installed?

Buy new Trinity Springs!!!! Get the Heavy ones, this is an easy $8 fix, See my post "Trinity Springs" just underneath this one......

Changing the weight of oil, or changing to a 2 or 3 hole will do nothing for the ride height, only the dampening effect.
ONLY stronger springs will boost it up. That or a boat load of spacers to increase the pre-load.

Increasing the preload only makes the rear end jump around. Get a set of Trinity or RC Raven springs. I ran the Rc Raven Dual Rate springs on my stock shocks before I put on the Powerstrokes and they were great.
