I thought about that yesterday. The engineer in me gets some crazy ideas sometime, but never got the opportunity to try out. I'll give it a shot & let you know.
I heard about removing the front shaft & I was also reading in the one of the Deuce sections about doing lockout hubs (or pulling an axle shaft) on 1 rear axle.
Seems a little drastic, but I'm sure it helps.
Funny thing is my front tires do not appear to be getting tore up.
I figured the fronts...
I have 55 front & it seems good.
Any scuff marks on the front tread look even for the most part.
Wonder if a set of shocks in the rear would dampen the pivoting of the rear suspension.
Seems like bumps cause articulation between the 2 axles which does not cancel out quickly.
I can see this in...
Just an update.... took the pressure down to 35 & it definitely rides nicer.
What I don't like is how it is now grinding the corners off the rear tires from turning.
Seems like the mid axle is the worst.
The outer lugs are taking a beating... the insides & the fronts are sharp & square. Took...
Good to hear. Didn't have it out on the road again, so I did not experiment with other pressures.
I'll give it a shot & see what happens. Its hard to believe how much air they hold. Takes 30 seconds to bleed off 2lb.
I am still tying to find the sweet spot for pressure.
With the M818, when empty, there is no weight in the back.
On rough surfaces, I get a bounce from it, since the suspension does not move, the tires become the only suspension.
I was told to run in the 30's rear & 50-60 front.
Currently I...
Thanks for the info... I was wondering as commercial tires are good for over 100K, but since these are an off road design, I did not know if it was 10K or 100K. No idea how to gauge it.
I do notice the scuff marks from turning enough to make me concerned.
For those with 16.00's what pressure...
