Kewl all sorted. What sort of level do u guys run them around at while on road and doing trips?
Mines pretty boaty so was thinking at max stiff setting, but that might be too stiff.....

Thoughts?

I only use two settings..... 0 and 9 haha

9 (stiff) on road and 0 (soft) offroad.

I would rather have a "on/off" switch instead of the knob :armsup:

With my truck, everything less than 9 on the road rides like the titanic :roll:

in my 80 I use around 6 - 7 on road depending on load and which tyres, and 2 - 3 off road. lower than that and the tippy factor creeps in.

experiment, see what's comfortable and controllable.
