23" Wheel suspension issue
« on: April 27, 2019, 03:58:39 PM »
Need some help! 7 deg American suspension trees with 23" KO Gunship wheel just took out for test run after 128" install and rake wheel kit now I am bottoming out over pebbles?
I have spacers that came in kit installed in bottom of lower legs, 22OZ of heavy duty fluid stock springs.
Im 350lbs a very big dude but something isnt right. Anyone have solutions? No I don't want to put it back to stock...

I would think the best thing would be to call folks who made the stuff. Not shop who sold it but the manufacturer.

Lose some weight.

Sorry, just kidding. I'm over 300lb myself. I couldn't resist.

I'm not familiar with the kit at all, so I can't give you an answer, but I do have a question or two.  What do they say is the purpose of those spacers, and who recommended the heavy duty (what viscosity?) fluid?  If you're running the stock fork springs and dampers, and the only changes were those spacers and fluid, I'd guess those are your culprits.  I'm further guessing those spacers have something to do with limiting travel so your fender doesn't hit other solid parts.  If so, I would not be surprised by a harsh ride.
