rpm a arms and suspension help?;

[mrferly2004]

I have rpm a arms and big bore shocks. What holes are u guys mounting the shocks to? I run mostly rocky off road and am looking to get the best handling possible without scraping all the time. How should I setup my springs? Stiffer in back or front. I'm also running 100000 wgt diff oil. I was told this would help me "pull through turns". Also have an rc solutions rollcage which adds some weight to the top. Just wanted to find out how others have their suspension, and rpm arms set up. Thanks

Ps..I'm only running that thick of oil in the front diff

And I have 50 wgt shock oil in the front shocks, 70 in the back

I have mine on the last setting on the front with progressive rate springs on the front so still allows to soak up some bumps and pulls down in the turns but stiffens up abit on landings and on the back have it on the 1st setting with stiffer springs coz most of the time land back heavy wen i jump . Works pretty well for me hardly ever roll and i also am running a full roll cage with rpm wider a arms . But everyone's different but works good for me bud .

Jacknifejuv, what exactly do you mean first and last? Inside, or out?

 

[Jacknifejuv]

1st inside last out . Sorry forgot to mention that

What kind of terrain do u drive? Off-road or pavement? Do y have stiffer springs or just use the spaces in the back?

Off road all the time . Gravel grass loose dirt . Yer same springs on the back just with a 10 mil spacer on each shock to stiffen the back up . You dont want to stiffen your suspension up way too much . Coz wen you start doin jumps you'l start breaking towers bulk's ect rather have my maxx bottom out with a few scratches than a broken tower .

also a stiffer rear supension equals more wheelies

not really the softer the springs I noticed it wheelies more then when they are stiff I got a 3.3 with stiff stiff suspension and a 3.3 with origional shocks(Big Bore) and the origional shocks wheelies more.
