hey guys

[AJTorris]

So i have been getting more and more into the go fast stuff and my front end is perfect for now but my rear end bounces off the ground about a foot. I have 4.5in RE leafs with my 2nd leaf added and MJ shackles.

what sort of shocks? Sounds like the shocks aren't controlling the springs...

 

[AJTorris]

I have Rancho 9000. Could bumpstops help with stopping the recoil on the land?

Now that you are asking a question rather than just making a statment for us to figure out.

NO. Bumpstops would not help. You have a problem with your rebound damping. You need more of it. I would recommend trying new shocks or better yet better shocks. How old are your 9000's? I don't personally like the rancho shocks but won't hate on them in your application usless you tell us more about your setup. Rear springs, shocks, tires, air pressures and what you are doing that causes the suspension to do what you say it is doing. Help us help you.

how fast are you going? you can only go so fast with a rancho shock. you may need to upgrade your rear shocks.

on my racer we still run the stock rear bumps.

Ok i have 4.5in RE leafs with my 2nd leaf added and MJ shackles. 33 in BFG M/T tires, Black steel rims Running 30 PSI. Rancho 9000 shocks (adjustable) Here is a jump behind my house I had a bad exhaust leak on it that is now fixed. On the first jump i did my axle hit my exhaust. Also I do the rocks also thats the only reason i have the bumper and winch!! So please dont knock me about the bumper

Looks to me like maybe your shocks are bad. The rear appears to have kept bouncing a decent distance after you landed. Looks like you have almost zero rebound damping.

I would try new shocks or pull your ranchos out and see if you have any resistance compressing and extending them.

Edit: since you have Rancho 9000's you could try adjusting them and see if it changes but they look shot to me.

x2!!

Only other thing, is get your Ranchos warrantied and replaced. They come with lifetime warranty.

sounds like you either have one hell of an exhaust leak, or a misfire. i would get that taken care of soon too

 

[Ryan93]

haha I thought there was a helicopter flying in the background at first then I realized it was your exhaust

ya i got the exhaust fixed. The first flange was shoved over like > after the first jump. But i did fix the exhaust leak. And thanks guys i will be pulling my shocks off tomorrow.
