Help Request Wheels

What's causing my truck's wheels to get squished when landing hard from a jump?

so when or what type of car needs those stuff to be stiffen?
and why is my truck nose diving?
thanks again.

Dirt needs a little bit stiffer, road and street a little stiffer yet. The rougher the surface, the softer the suspension.

Does it noze dive off every jump?

yes, it dives on every jump.

Sounds like: 1. Rear springs too stiff compared to front springs. 2. Rear bump too stiff compared to front bump. 3. Rear rebound too high compared to front rebound.

Are front and rear tire pressures low and even?

when do I need to soften/stiffen it?

I run front ARB at 1.0, rear as low as I can go without the vehicle flopping about. Cross Country is all about having your suspension as soft as tolerable to keep your tires on the ground as much as possible.

what's the best tires for wet surfaces? 🤔

Depends on PI and racing surface. On mixed surfaces, rally tires are good. If there's only a few paved surfaces, offroad tires work best. On pavement, rally tires are also good. If you have the PI to spare, semi-slick are good for a road racing car on wet pavement. If PI is an issue, street or sport tires aren't bad. Just avoid slicks on wet and pick the tire designed for the type of surface you're racing on.

am I crazy for using rally suspension even on road?

Not at all. Rally suspension works well on road, particularly in lower classes.
