Big Mike NY Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I have racetech shocks front and rear. My a arms are +3 +1 with long travel shocks. What preload and rebound settings are a good base to start with? I do not know a lot about suspension and setups and I want to maximize the setup. This is the information Racetech provided. Thank you.. SRSK AYAYFZ3588F IANN483 IFP/rebound Sport +3/+1 IFP (Internal Floating Piston) shocks with rebound adjust. Setting as follows: US-1 oil 2.5 wt 100 psi N2 Reb: 25 clicks out Top spring: 5.3 kg/mm Main spring: 1.8 kg/mm Combined spring rate: 1.34 kg/mm Preload: 15mm Sag: 99mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I really think you're going to have to adjust this to your riding style/terrain. I've always dialed all my shocks in during the rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb90 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 id get the sag adjusted in with rider weight while in the shop,then fine tune every thing while riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 This is from the suspension guide, and is how I finally got my Floats figured out.

Drop high speed compression all the way. Run low speed compression almost at max. Run rebound at max. Go for a ride at a slow pace. Every time the shocks bottom out, add 2-3 clicks high speed compression. If you get into a series of rough terrain and the shocks soak up the first few bumps very well and then get stiffer and stiffer or bottom out, or if the back kicks up hard off a jump face or off a bump, back the rebound out 2-3 clicks. I prefer all the low speed compression I can get, but if you want more comfort, run it all the way down. Every time it rolls excessively or wants to bottom out going up the face of a jump or landing softly rom a landing, add a little low speed compression. Generally, valving is a mix between performance and comfort. You want the softest compression and highest rebound settings you can get away with. Write these settings down for each place you ride. It only takes a minute to adjust them. As you get closer and closer to max adjustment, you may want to consider a revalve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thanks for the rundown. I certainly intended to adjust ride. What about sag, ride height and preload? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Ope, my bad. Basically, I read this thread and am happy. I mostly ride dunes so went with a taller ride height. As far as sag goes, I think you shoot for 10-30% of shock travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
