You're running a bias tire? Radials will need the rear extension loosened up more to work right like Todd mentioned. If will take a few hits to find the right settings on the shocks. Just keep adjusting until it responds.

Some video would sure help, good luck!
Troy, the suspension is pretty loose. The rear fully extends the 21" shocks that I just put on the rear. The front drops at least 5". I will measure exactly how much for both. Do you measure the amount of lift to the point the front tire leaves the ground with a jack?

The last setting I used was full tight on compression and 8 clicks from tight on extension. I will keep adjusting one motion at a time until it starts to respond.

THANK YOU for your help!
