Re: Softer shocks in back?

your on the right track. If you think about it, there is about 2300 lbs on the front, 1150 per side, and the shock is leveraged about 60%. So, the shock thinks there is 1916lbs pushing it around. Out back, maybe 725 lbs per side, and with all of the angles and leverages in play, the shock sees about 900 lbs of force pushing it around. Only about half as much force as the front (unloaded). Moroe sensitrack, Bilstien inertia valve, and Pro shocks, with a 2/3 valving, also, some of the soft, pre-runner shocks, suck as Doetsch and Rancho will give you what you want. Stay away from high-pressure gas types.
