Hum, I had quite the opposite experience. I ran the PS and was bottoming out my truck at the BMX track. Switch to 8 UE's with 50wt and blue springs and had much less bottoming and better controlled landings. I was using 40wt and the white spring on the PS so maybe if I had tried a heavier oil and springs I might have like them better. Why has PL discontinued them? I've heard a lot of good things about them. I've got to believe they will be coming out with a new and improved shock soon.

Ohh you run 4 shock's. That'll bottom out on a heavy emaxx. You tried stiffer spring's?

8 will never bottom out if you set it correctly. No matter how high you be jumpin'.

If i jump with 4 yeah. I jump with the 8 not as much of a problem. The 8 seem to handle better as well. The 4 does better than stock by far. I think with the proline or the ue someone will be happy. I like the ue for a heavy truck for you have two springs to handle the load over one. Has any one tried a proline shock with the ue set of 4. Maybe that would be the ultimate set up. :)

I put a set of PS on, and they are great! It was bottoming out some, so I put 80 wt in the by pass, and that has helped. Are you all using the bypass?

I use the bypass.
