Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Shocks are made to retract (push in) easily. Then they rebound (push out) slowly. This is due to the restriction valves used in them to control movement or the bouncing of the vehicle. So what happens is you hit a bump and the suspension goes down. Now you have the vehicles springs pushing back and the shocks are controlling the amount of force they have to prevent them from pushing so hard it creates a bounce back. When shocks go bad the vehicle is bouncing uncontrollably since there is nothing to prevent the bounce back. Shocks themselves don't have anything to due with vehicle load at all. That is the springs department. They basically keep the springs in check. Of course "leaf" springs have an inherent self dampening ability unlike "coil" springs, but they still need shocks.Ok
received new shocks today and I was able to compress them like they were for a Honda Civic or something. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.View attachment 740716

What’s the advantage/reasoning for running those shocks vs the stock shocks?Are you running super singles? If you are then you should use this shock.

The shocks I posted are for the A3 series that comes with the 395's. They are designed for the larger tire and extra weight.
