I'm actually running the Jammin big bore 16mm shocks, not the Hobao 17mm shocks.

As for fluid and piston hole size? I'm still experimenting. I ran the OEM size piston holes and 50wt fluid, it was okay, handled big jumps fine, but the suspension was a little stiff, and I still had problems bottoming out, there wasn't enough pack.

I switched to the smaller piston hole, and that pretty much fixed the pack issue, but the suspension was a little too rough so I stepped down to 35wt (I didn't have 40 or 45 at the time and the shop was out of those).

So still experimenting. 35wt was definitely too thin even with the smaller holes.
