that depends on the weight of the truck and which springs you are running.....this what I run...
60,000 weight in all four shocks.....blue springs in the rear and red in the front....spring preload set by about 6-8 threads down and the shocks are in the farthest inward position and the farthest pount out on the arms.......

How about showing us your truck, my friend?

Since its a racing truck, I believe its a tough one.

60000 is relative thick for a shock?

I know...once i get it all back together and start racing more....and I see how hte slipperential makes it handle...I might go down in weight...but I have to see once it is all together

I used 4 racer x shocks on my truck. 2 red springs in the front & 2 blue springs in the back. I used 60 weight oil , i really liked it.

that's what I'm running now...but I want to see how it handles with the slipperential and all...before I make any adjustments

I use 60 all the way around with blue springs all the way around. It really depends on the weight of your truck and what suspension you run. If you are a basher and have a heavier truck, then I would go 60 and blue in the front, and 70 black in the rear
