And so it Begins... the 392

Okay, got the new and lower bump stops installed and I'm much happier with the amount of up-travel we now have. At full bump, there's still 1/2" of shock shaft to go so I'll call it good. Here are some after shots of what our 392 looks like now - essentially, pretty much the same LOL

Looks good. Nice to be running your buddies products again. 👍🏻
 
Looking good! Hope you love the ride!
Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much if any difference in ride but after driving around for a while and purposefully hitting bumps to test things out, I think the EVO coils are a much better pairing with the Ohlins I have. There are are couple of spots where I've been able to bottom out with the Rancho coils and the EVOs have not.

I do recall rancho being on the soft side, which actually gave a pretty nice ride, but obviously can bottom out easier. I totally get the pairing, and it probably as much to do with the ride height and sweet spot of the shock, like it mentioned earlier, I ran into this same thing with my Mojave when I put a small lift on it, took 2 sets of springs to find the right height to be in the correct “zone”
 
Also, I noticed one of our tires was low on air and after doing some looking around, I found this.

Being that it went in a weird angle, it was kind of a bitch to pull out and plug.

If there is an upside, the nail was right in the middle of the tread so plugging it was a good fix.

It's incredible how this can even happen from a nail lying in the road. The mechanics involved just seem impossible for a 2" nail to poke through like that
