My prob. is this...seeing as I bought the truck used, not sure of the manufacturer of the rear ( front buggy shocks ) shocks. I can't seem to get the right spring rebound I want. I have tried oils from 20 -50wt. and I am still not happy. They won't rebound enough...seem to stick. The shafts are not bent. My thought was to drill the holes out in the damper a little bigger to allow more oil to pass through...good idea, bad. I could probably just get new springs......but, money is v/tight right now.
