hey gez,
Been researching and thinking about how to best calculate the
appropriate shock absorbers/coil over springs, etc. for the front and
rear of my Tumbler and DOJ Batmobile.
For my Tumbler and DOJ Batmobile
Rule one: The finished weight of a Bat Vehicle, my Tumbler and DOJ
Batmobile in particular, is an unknown factor needed to accurately
calculate shock and coil-over spring rates, travel, diameter, and
eight, or so, other variables.
Given, the un-certainty of the final weight I plan to use stand-in
proxy shocks while I build the rest of my Tumbler around them and the
same for my DOJ.
I know from my research that four Tumblers after being finished
required multiple trials with shock and coil-over spring combinations
before they finally got them right.

hey gez,
Here is some shock absorber and coil-over spring information that might be of some use to you.
Shock Absorbers and Coil-Over Spring Calculations
There are many shock absorbers with coil-over spring plug in
calculators on line. The best I have found, so far, are related to the
Off-Road shock and spring guides.
One of the best is found at:
CRAWLpedia – The Off Road Encyclopedia
www.crawlpedia.com

valving works and how shims are used to adjust compression and rebound
damping.

hey gez,
It has been a while. Was just thinking about your Tumbler build.
Solved the rear tire and wheel issues we had discussed.
How has your Tumbler progressed? vertigo
