My ride is rough
Somebody help me out here.
I just got my new 87 shortie with 1 rear leaf removed and new LMC 2" drop front springs. I've put Mcgaughey(sp) shorty shocks on all 4 corners. The wheels are Coys 20 front, 22 rear with yokohama 255/40s all around. It rides like crap. Maybe I'm just too old school and not used to the low profile ride. Maybe the setup is wrong...completely... or just some parts. The shocks are stiffest I ever seen and the experienced installer said he's never seen shocks that stiff. The ride is rumbly over minor street bumps and really bounces you around over the bigger bumps, like rr tracks. I'm thinking I can live with a some sacrifice in ride comfort because of the low profile tires but this is way too much. The front is more of a problem than the rear but I'm thinking the new 2" drop frt springs should still be OK for acceptable ride. So my problem/solution is probably the shocks. Anyone have any suggestions on that brand of shock, or experience with a smoother shock with the same setup? Maybe I don't need short shocks...I'm groping here? Any help/advice would be appreciated. |
