I did email him and he was responsive. He asked for picts which I haven't given him yet. My fault. Rained bad during the holiday break and I'm overload with work to do it during the daylight hours. It will get solved. Springs are the Thuren 2" soft ride. They were installed at the same time along with the Carli ball joints.

Also called Fox and they will do 1 re-valving for free!

I asked about letting out the nitrogen and they were not so hip? Don't know why? Should of asked more.

It needs to monitored equalized with a gauge so each pair is equal. I bet the rear is traping with stock overloads.

"We also have to consider anyone spending big bucks on this type of setup will automatically say how great is is (smart they were). Bucks = happiness for many." Coming from a guy from the "Show Me" State. up


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Two of the drivers are multi time SCCA National champs and competitively road race (and win) across the country. And the chassis' have evolved from leaf to 3 link and now IRS over the past 4 decades. I'm confident they know what they are doing.

Letting off some nitrogen often softens up the damping a bit and is something you can try without send the shocks in, but the service people at Fox would not tell you to do it as it is a bit bush league, re-valving is the proper way do it.

Realistically the Mopar (and particularly Hotchkis) leafs can do amazingly well up to a certain point of racing. Eventually if you want to compete at the highest level with the fastest competition, it's time to move up to a 3 link or even IRS. I haven't won the lottery, so no 16K rear suspension for me, but if you have the $$ and want the best, sure go for it. Just makes it all the sweeter when I can beat a guy(or gal) who bought one, while I'm still using the cheap stuff.

Bingo. The Hotchkis kit is better than most folks can drive it. The higher end stuff adds unneeded complexity and expense unless you are in that top tier of drivers competing at the highest levels.
