ahh i hear ya man, its rough out there. i'm holding out for a sugar mama

how the tuning goin?

Still lean on startup, haven't done a log in a week or so. Bought a new battery for my laptop and tried saving $20 on a Amazon knock off and it doesn't charge so gotta throw another $75 at it to get it up to tuning longevity standards lol.

Need to adjust shocks more as well. Did a HARD 1st gear launch and 1-2 shift last night and the rear felt like it was bouncing and very unsettled after the shift. I guess that means it needs more rebound?

this is 2wd right? if its not hurting anything let it squat (lower compression) will put more weight on the rear wheels launching, less chance itll spin. but you need to make sure your driveline angles stay good. mine i try to keep the front down, max out compression in the back, max out rebound in the front but it rides like shit

Drive shaft angle isn't great and the more it squats the worse it gets. Still have a buddy supposedly working on adjustable UCAs that are beefier than Spohn. Although he did just send the cam I gave him as trade back lol.

It's not that the truck squats to fast or too hard I know that's good for traction (which it has plenty of) plus it feels "moar faster" when it squats hard. It's that after the initial squat it sorta bounces a few times before setting down. It used to bounce really bad with the old shocks now its 80%better which makes me think it just needs some more of both C&R to stiffen it some. They are super low on both settings now.

Leave the compression where it's at and add to the rebound 3 or 4 clicks(to slow down returning to ride height)
