Shocks and springs

[Armar5t]

Hey y'all. Been running my new 5t basically stock. I did do a dominator tuned pipe.

Looking for a rear suspension set up/ insight. Not trying to buy all the springs and shock fluid to figure out what combo is working.

Situation= tires are rubbing up in the wheel well and chassis bottoms out slamming on the ground. I added some more preload in the spring and now there is too much bounce in it and it still bottoms out on the smallest jumps/ bumps. Just trying to smooth it out a little bit.

I'm thinking 10 lbs springs and 50 weight shock fluid. Just not sure if its enough.

Thank you

The wheels and tires are stock. Running blue 8lbs springs and 40 weight shock oil( i think. Thats whats listed as stock)

She's a little dirty. Lol. The ball fields just got rained on this morning. It sucks living in an apartment. No where to clean it off. My wife gets mad when I put my RCs in the tub.

Right I didnt realise the wheels where rubbing on the body??‍
I would look at the TLR hinge pin brace set for the rear??it has adjustable inserts for any squat ??

Not to derail, but...

I spy a GeekVape Aegis under that roll cage. Nice choice! Have one myself. Best mod ever.

My wife doesn't mind the car in the tub so long as it doesn't make the place smell like petrol... invest in a pump to drain the tank, and a metric ton of Simple Green to keep the peace.

Set it up like crucial ststed and that should get you pretty close.

Thank you @crucialRC. That's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a starting point to fine tune. Instead of buying a bunch of springs and oil and tearing it apart after every run to adjust.

No problem, but that's part of the fun?

Yes, you guys are right. But working limited hours due to this Corona virus puts a limit on funds. Just don't have the extra money to throw around right now.
Eventually I want every part I could need in my parts box, especially because I don't know anywhere that stocks the parts locally

Feel you bud $$$ is very tight @the mo?

How much shock fluid is needed to do all 4 shocks?

 

[Basher5iveT420]

If my memory serves me right I used a little less then 2 bottles, each bottle was 100cc

Thank you. That's was about what I was figuring by just by looking at the shocks size. Don't want to have to run out and get more while I'm trying to get them done. Lol
