New Rear Shocks

[Tom Wells]

Jon,

My brain (if any) seems to work like one of those ink-filled 8-balls. You know, the kind that you turn over, ask a question, and then sooner or later (I'm definitely in the later category) an answer floats to the top.

The reason I say this is that body roll is more affected by swaybars and springs than the shocks. Shocks can only have an effect briefly and will continue to deflect if the springs/swaybar(s) allow it. Or in other words, shocks have an influence on the rate of roll, not the extent if that makes sense.

Here's a link that kinda says the same thing (note he does mention stiffening both springs and shocks together and ruining the ride): https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/ar...how-reduce-it/

So I think if roll control is your primary objective, you'd be better off looking first at a swaybar or perhaps a little bit stiffer springs.

I hope that makes sense.
