About 2 weeks ago I did an oil change on my shock to try stiffen up the compression dampening. I changed from shock oil to thicker Mobile 1 ATF. It helped a little but I'm still all the way in on my compression dampening. I bottom out the shock when I seat bounce some jumps, during large bumps in turns, and flat landings.
I'm right on the edge of needing more compression dampening, like 3-4 more clicks and I would be good. Normally I would just send in my shock to get serviced but as it stands right now, I have a good chance at placing overall in my class for season points. The turner I use is to far away to send and then receive my shock back in one week.
My question is if there is any other way I could pick up some more compression dampening?
Would a thicker shock oil help?
Is there oil thicker then Mobil 1 ATF?
Could I order some shims and add them to the stack my self or will this screw up the entire design of the shim stack that the turner made for me?
Thanks.
