I’m wondering what stiffness people with adjustable suspension are running. I have the Kings with adjusters and have played around with it a lot depending on driving conditions and weight setup. Personally for on road mine are at 30% in the front 20% in the rear (9 and 6 clicks) and i typically crank it up offroad. What % are you guys running yours at and do you go softer or stiffer offroad?

I can't speak from experience, but I can say you want to go with the best Ballance where you kave a controlled ride both On and Off-road. Some shocks it may be tough to find. Others not so much. If you fell the 9 and 6 on the street feel right I would run it like that Off-road first and go from there. Will it need adjustment? Maybe, maybe not. It might only need a click or two of adjustment at best. Of course this can change with different loads.

Perhaps @P. A. Schilke can give some better input since he was involved in the Ford Racing stuff.

Hi Chris,

The simple idea is that most folks like more control on the street and softening for off road. To some extent this is where your calibrated Assometer is your guide..

Best,
Phil
