    Shocks on mod

    Got a mod weighs 2550 with driver & its a stacked leaf mod. so just looking for options on shocks that would be good also for slick track? this is what i run all the time dnt have anytime to change shocks but i use these for my slick shocks but its what i always run from the begining to the end.. 76lf 753rf & 95lr 94rr just lookin for options that will not have a tight condition on entry & will work well from center off...Thanks

        I would lighten the rear shocks to 94 or 93. I would not run a compression shock on the left rear of a leaf spring car. You need to let the spring move around. The most important thing on a dry slick track with a leaf car is to make sure you are keeping them arched regularly. Any loss of spring and you will lose all forward bite on the slick.

              Won't loosen entry , lets it roll up and holds weight on LR longer , which should give more drive off. If in doubt run 75's on front 94's on back . My leaf cars only have about 165 wins so I might not know what I'm talkin about. One thing I do know is there are 50 different setups that will work for 50 different drivers.

                  transfers weight to lr on acceleration , but I don't like that it doesn't let lr go up and roll weight to rr. Used to run them on lr , today I'd run it on rr maybe.

                      Yes , that should be fine . Here is a reply I gave to another question , that you may be able to use. LR afco 231mhd 152lbs. , no lowering block , RR afco 231 142 lbs. , 1" adjustable lowering block , start with wheebase equal . Air LF 10 , RF 13 , LR 8 , RR 10 . Ride height 6 1/2 across front , 7 1/2 across rear , with driver , if any corner has to be higher make it the LR if possible , 150 lbs. bite for feature ,80 for heat if you can ( 2lbs + LF air , 1 lb more RR air ) . shouldn't need 56 % rear , 54 or 55 w/driver . String left side ,tires should be even , or LR just outside LF , right side prefer RF 3 or 4 " outside RR . Now for what you originally asked shocks LF 5 , RF 5 or 5C-3R , LR 4 or 5C-3R , RR 3 or 4 . Feel free to PM me with any problems.
