I dont think thicker oil would solve the problem... That would just slow down the movement of the a-arm. I would add preload or shock spaces that is unless you have threaded shocks. Then you would just adjust the little color like you would tighten a nut. Also going to a bigger spring I think would solve the problem.

You bump oils or you can add some pre-load. Pre-load is quicker obviously. What are you running now, front and rear?

yes preload would be your best bet. if you cant get enough preload for what you want go to a stiffer spring.

I wouldn't go with a stiffer spring. If you go with a stiffer spring then you will prob have to change oils.
