If you're asking me on a trail date the answer is yes. 😁

Thanks!

I'll check that out, thanks for the tip. ✌

Thanks buddy!

Thanks!

So the difference is the way I did it I'm maximizing the lower spring. The way you're doing it you're maximizing the upper spring. Just personal preference. Only difference is you have to make adjustments if you change the preload. My way is more tailored to lazy people. 😁😉

I would probably set the gap under your 3.66” instead of rounding up. I would rather bottom out the spring than the internal valves. Or do the bushings on the shaft stop it before that point?

@@Tommy-B. Well in order for the shock to bottom out this far my bumpstop would have already failed. But if it does I'd rather let the shock bottom out all the way without binding the springs. There is a rubber stopper on the shaft that would crush and put the force into the shock housing. I guess that would be the best scenario.

Yeah, been making progress. He's so close to being done now I can taste it.

It can go either way. But whatever spring is on bottom is the spring you're tuning. With the soft spring on bottom you would need to fully crush it before getting full advantage of the heavier spring. It might take 3/4 of your travel before you fully crush the softer spring. And then the slider isn't really doing much. With the lighter spring on top you can adjust the slider to cut the top spring out much sooner and benefit from the stronger spring. When the springs are stacked, soft on top or bottom the spring rate is the same. Things only change when a spring is fully crushed, or engages the slider. Then you get the spring rate of the bottom spring. Whether it be soft or strong. So you're not wrong as it can be done any way you want. But this is why I did it the way I do. ✌

When I had Mauler set up as trailing arm I had 14" shocks on it. It had a 14"x275 on top and a 14"x300 on bottom.

Thanks! ✌

I would think your buggy is more like Mauler, he uses 2" body shocks. I have 10" travel in front and 12" in rear. But you'll need to dry cycle your suspension up and down to see how much travel you'll need. And add a little extra at the ends too.

@@DougBugBuilder how about the weight to chose the strenght of the 2 coils?

@@ciobanuvalentinmail I can't tell you exactly as I don't know your weight or the ratio of your suspension. But I can tell you Mauler has 100/250 in the front and 275/300 in the front. I think your Baja is a bit lighter, but hopefully this is something to get you started.

@@DougBugBuilder thank you very much

✌😁

Yo Vic, hope Florida is treating you well. 👍
