This is with the portals installed, right? If not, my 37” KO2s are gonna look like toys!
It will kind of look like this... LOL... This is with the stockers though...

Did you have the standard springs and try dialing in the low speed compression?
Oh whoops-I should’ve mentioned these were the Rock Krawler coils. So dual rate springs and only one compression adjuster that feels like a high speed change.

Wait . . . you put Rock Krawler springs on your Ride coilovers? I'm confused . . .

Rock Krawler coilovers**

They’ve been mentioned earlier in the thread. Brought them up for the sake of comparison. Ride has adjustable high and low speed compression

Oh, OK . . . as I said, I was confused. Now somewhat less so. Thanks.

Rear has such limited travel it will always be an issue. Looking past ride height you need 6-8" of up travel to not feel a speed bump. Then looking at the 10" of provided travel you quickly figure out why it feels like its bottoming out. Upping the resistance of the rear cause the rear to buck more. No matter how much you you adjust the shocks your going to have some sort of rear end issue.

I am set up with not enough rear up travel for speed running. Pretty sure portals are going to be set up similar to keep 40s out of the fenders.

With our setup the issue was up front. Barely had an inch of shaft showing so very limited on uptravel. Was hoping to get away with it but no dice. (Don’t mind the cosmetic damage on the coil, that was my mistake during installation)

Do you have a picture at full droop? Your in uncharted waters with those Rock Krawler shocks. Something doesn't look right with level CVs you should still have 2-3" of wheel up travel.

Yeah. They recommended 1.5” of thread above the locking nut but we were trying to keep it as low as possible. Adjusted preload to see what it was like at almost the same height as factory (was still taller due to shock length and factory mounts, of course) and did .5” above the locking nut to start out.

Unfortunately didn’t get a good picture of the front at full droop on the shakedown run. RK has been talking with Quinn about additional changes that can be done for those running portals.

@SierraBronco I believe they are rebranded Radflow Shocks. I like the stiff front for daily driving and run pretty maxed out.

FYI the Ride Shocks are smoother than my 4WP coilovers going over my driveway curb.

The RK are rebranded or Ride?

Your RK are rebranded Radflows based on what I see.

Ride shocks are probably rebranded too! Really no issues with them being rebranded as you are really paying for the tunning. Setup is the biggest thing and what really makes the package. My 4wp are made by Walker Evans and that is how the shock world works currently.
