wow, had a rollover a couple weeks ago on a ride, left front tire dipped and tire turned and caught instantly, throwing me over the highside, going a little to fast for sure. doofx sent me a link to some tire and suspension set up. very very informative. seems i have been setting the suspension up all friggin wrong, who'da thunk it.
had the shocks(frt, rear) preload on 3rd setting from soft, not a bad ride. the tire pressure about 5psi front n rear. new tires zilla 30x9 front 30x 11 rear.
now these beotches have a soft side wall to begin with, lots of traction and clearance in the mud, but for lack of a better word seemed real twitchy on the trails. turned real easy ride was nice, but would turn sideways instantly on hitting large rocks or stumps etc. what did i do, i turn the front shock preload up a notch, didn't help at all. well upon reading the article, i was doing it wrong, should have been putting more air in front tires (to stiffin up the sidewall) and soften the front spring preload and stiffin up the rear preload. had no idea. thanks doorfx.
so going to set the front tire pressure to 8lbs and leave rear at 5lbs, set front spring preload to 2, and leave rear on 3. see how it handles on the trail. if it still wants to roll under in the front, i may try 2 on front and 4 on rear.
will try a few differnt settings and see.
anyone else have any ideas?
