I guess I should have been more specific on what kind of valving you were gonna try and or bleed holes lol

We only messed with the front coil overs. All the bleeds were open from King, we left it that way. From King came with .010” shim on compression and rebound. Changed the flutter shim on compression up from .008” to .010”just to try something since they were apart. We haven’t touched the bypasses yet or the rear.

Free bleed poppets are going to be the biggest help

no exactly sure what that is? New to the shock internal stuff. Do mean adding something to stop the currently open free bleeds?

The poppet valves that are in the bypass tubes. They make them with feee bleed holes, basically does the same as opening free bleeds in the piston BUT doesn’t soften the bump zone.

Bomb went off under the truck but transmission is out. Looks like some work was done back in 2017 couple years before I purchased it. Hope to have it back running before the go fast explorers meet in April.

Transmission is rebuilt with upgraded parts. Ordered a larger cooler with a fan and external filter.
