Cool, I like those ideas, but how would they affect off-road performance? I only bash off-road and I love to try crazy jumps. I have a feeling that high weight shock oil and jumps don't go together, but I'd love to be wrong if a higher shock oil is the fix.

Heavier weight shock oil for jumps is the way to go. Springs are what you wouldn't want for jumping.

Yeah, I was just about to say that. I actually meant to say that they don't go well together, but I forgot the n't. I never would have thought that. How does it affect overall off-road handling? (Not just the jumps, but doing all kinds of stuff off-road)

Fixed your post.

I think you should do more research on what shock oil does and the effect it has with different viscosity. There's a reason you use higher shock oil for larger jumps.

:D
