I run 10R/15C. 1 bleed open up front. It's a dump truck on street but a freak on the dirt. Pretty aggressive setup but I don't have bypasses.

I should have measured @Bastek 's valve stack when we had it apart yesterday, but I think it was .12 and .15 for most of the stack with a single flutter.
Heh, the way you were going through them one by one, I almost figured you actually did measure them. There is always next time :cool:

the front measurements almost look backwards exceept for the number of shims

I listed them from the piston out, but yeah seemed a little odd the stiffer shims were at the back of the stack. That's why I included diameter of the shim.

Nah i mean entire rebound and compression stacks backwards. The compression is very soft and the rebound is very stiff

Wouldn't that be appropriate with a spring of a high spring rate?

I did order them with 700s from the get go but it does seem like the rebound is pretty high in comparison.
I got my fronts from DSM. When I called to order them they swapped in the 700# springs and sent them out the same day. Knowing very little about valving(which I still have extremely limited knowledge) I wondered how they could use the same valving with the two different spring rates.

Makes sense. Need to make a call to ADS still, just haven't had time.

As much as tw annoys me there is good info there. Just need to get more of that info here.

I was just going to say that changing your spring valve doesn't mean you need to change your damping. You can still be in the range of what the shock can tune out. Mass-Spring-Damper is where all the calculations come from.

Greater than a 10% change of spring rate doesn't necessarily mean a change in valving?
