Yep, it is pretty night and day the difference you get with aftermarket shocks - kind of have to experience it to believe. I believe you went with Fox - best thing now is go somewhere you hride often and try all three setting over the same areas to get a feel for what each does. typically I run in Med, If hauling or I know I am going to be running higher speeds on a road or gravel I will go to firm. Soft is for slower trails
What kind of tire pressures do you run. I have 8 ply 30” Rocthanes

I have not run those but @nbomar and @Windrock1000 have run those tires and sizes - don't quote me but I believe they run as low as 6 and not higher than 10 - maybe 8 - they will be here along shortly I am sure

Yea I’ve run down as low as 4psi on beadlocks. If you travel fast though you will get some bottoming out of the tire and hit the wheels. I switched to the pro armor 30’s recently and they ride SOOOO much better than roctanes. The jury is still out if they will hold up though. The roctanes is the only tire I’ve ever ran that I haven’t had a flat at some point. Im running elkas for shocks as well if that matters.

Still run the Roctanes 30”. I tend to run fully loaded with cooler, tools, chainsaw, etc.... around 10-12 psi. Never a flat or cut tire. Heavy but I prefer dependable riding than walking. I can get really remote when hunting

My GM had WE on his 5 seater and had to crank the preload up and he still hits bottom occasionally. Really wishes he went Elka.

I may end up doing the 814's or Fox. I just put a set of QB 846 8 plys on it and man it's a log wagon. Even with air down to 12psi. Have to pretty much crawl or it will jar your teeth out.

What size wheel? Try 8psi

10 to 11 psi is quite a big difference in ride quality.
