I just installed a set of the dobinsons adjustable remote reservoir shocks. I kept my slee 4inch springs. I installed them and set the adjustments to what they recommend for a "accessorized and weighted" truck.
Excuse the ignorant questions but maybe they will help others.
There are three adjustments, rebound, slow compression and fast compression. After my first test drive I noticed the back almost bouncing a few times after hitting speed bumps. So I dialed up the slow compression two clicks and fast compression one click. That helped; but it still feels a little rolly if that makes sense.
Can you all help me understand what I'm adjusting? I am assuming that slow compression is more for slow speed bumps, rock crawling with body roll while high speed compression is more for highway and road driving? is that correct?
what about rebound? I have not messed with that setting yet.
on another note I'm really glad I went ahead and addressed this. I had no idea just how worn out my suspension was. My OME shocks were toast! One had oil leaking out of it, another was completely gone, both of my front swaybar bolts were sheered off and gone!
