RE: new question about my shocks
ya on the back only i put 1 shock with a little oil and the other 70 im just trying it, its kinda coppying the new pro line where one is to shlow it down for going up and the other is for puching the car up....so idk i think that it micht be ok as long as i have some fluid in the one to keep it lubricated thanks

RE: new question about my shocks
You want the shock to be full with oil. If you fill it up correctly, it will rebound about halfway when the shaft is pushed in with the spring is off. Thinner shock oil allows faster movement of the shaft up and down, thicker oil slows the reaction. Adjusting the preload changes the ride height- so that it won't sit too low after taking a jump. Hope that helps!
