Do you have any photos of your current suspension setup (showing pre-load and geometry)?

Skids are supposed to hit the ground once in a while that why they are called skids. lol I run black in the back and blue up front also in my 11# truck. Thicker oil will slow the suspension down possibly preventing bottoming out.

One of the hardest things to make people understand is that they are supposed to bottom out, they were designed to bottom out. If the shocks ran out of travel before the chassis hit the ground, the shocks would blow apart on every jump! Of course, they aren't supposed to slam into the ground with massive force, but they are supposed to hit the ground.

River and Chad. You are absolutely right. We both sound like we have had similar setups suspension wise... so how much of a drop did it take to bottom? Pics later.
River, I run 80wt.

Zack, like I said previously, bottoming out isn't bad. And its 2 different things to bottom out while driving and bottom out while someone drops it from the sky.
I think you need to take you setup to the track and see how it does on the jumps. And remember, jumps were made for you to use the landing ramps. It supplements the Trucks suspension.

I would say that a properly setup suspension should allow the skids to just barely tap the ground when dropped from about 4 feet.
