shocks

[poorman]

What shock oil should I use in my savage 4.6.My new savage had the front left two shocks come apart after second or third bash did not break they just came apart.

I think they come stock with 30 weight. I run 40 weight in mine with black springs and stock shocks. Seems pretty good. A bit stiff for the small stuff, but doesn't bottom out as hard on the 6+ feet of air I get under it from time to time.

I still run the stock shocks on my truck also. I run 45wt oil with 1 black spring and 1 progressive spring on each corner.
If your shocks weren't hurt,just refill them and run'em!

Olds, what mounting holes are you running your shocks in on your LST2? I think I read on lstforums.com that your bashing setup was: inside holes on the towers, and outside holes on the a-arms. But that post might have been a few years old. Are you still running that setup, and why do you like it? Do you think that's the best way to configure the suspension for jumping? My son likes big air. Thanks for any advice..
