How to make my shocks stiffer?

[Hemi426]

I run Traxxas big bore shock on my clod and when ever i turn the front pulls a 90 degree angle. Which is causing rollovers. How can i stiffen my shocks, i know shock oil does. But i have no idea whats in there now or what weight to get. But the shocks are really soft.

No, it doesn't. Shock oil only changes how fast the shock compresses. Get stiffer springs.

I thought if you have a higher weight oil it slows the compression down. Thanks for the info i'll check into getting stiffer springs.

Go for heavier springs. The oil in the shocks does not support the vehicle,it only controls spring oscillation,or the tendency of the spring to keep moving after the force of impacts.
The main job of the springs are to support the vehicle and keep the suspension from dragging on the ground,spring selection and shock tuning is like any other game in this hobby,"frustrating" until it all comes together

:D :D

ok, different shock oil will only make your shocks move up and down at a maximum of X speed depending on which oil you get. and like potato suggested, stiffer springs will help, also, depending on which shocks you use, you could change the spacers at the top to make it even stiffer.
