Keeping my rhino straight

Since the knew JBS 787 engine has been installed in my rhino I have a hard time keeping it straight on the trail the ass end wants to pass the front and I have to let off of it to straighten it up would softening my shocks in the back help with this or do you all have any other ideas. I don't want to soften them to much to wear I bottom out though.

try doing it like this

sounds like James got that thing making to much horsepower LMAO. but you do want to get more weight transfer to the rear , or more traction on tires so less spring pressure will help with the transfer , less air psi could help or wider tires on the back might help don't know how wide your running now. May just have to lift that right foot a little , because of too much power

just keep it in 4WD

looking out for your well being it would probally be best if you just hand that motor over to me. i dont wanna see you get hurt.

I do appreciate you looking out for me but I thank I will try and work it out first. But I will keep that in mind.

I am running 10 inch in the rear with will spacers with 8 pounds of air. I guess it's going to have to be in the shocks for the most help I hope.

could go with 12's an maybe drop spacers

if your not outta control your not in control lol

When I was rolling on blown shocks, the rear of my Rhino would get freaky around corners under hard throttle. I damn near lost it a few times and it truly scared me once. If you are experiencing any kind of weird pogo or crazy handling, then you very well might have too much power for your suspension. In that case, running in 4WD is a band-aid but not a real fix for the situation. When I got good shocks, I could run way harder and faster than before as the rear tires were actually on the ground hooking up.

I'm suggesting a high dollar fix, I realize. But if you're serious and not speaking tongue in cheek about the big power, well that leaves tires and suspension. You have excellent tires. So how's the suspension?

Just a thought...

Edit- I see you got good shocks. I'll shut up... LoL

Lol. Still a good post though I'm thanking maybe I just don't have them adjusted correctly.

im thinking you cant handle it...lmao

Thought you might say that. If not I'm learning to. Lol

That's a nice problem to have.

took me 9000 miles to get super fast

Well are you going to give me any of that 9000 mile experience and tell what you thank I need to do ?

practice...lol....great shocks....your may need rebuilt

I have the shocks same as yours I guess I'm going to adjust them a little more.

How fast are you going when it wants to come around?

Probably 10 to 20 but anytime really that I get into it for instance if I was running 10 or 15 mph and started getting more into the gas it breaks loose.

I wish I had that kind of power

I dont know if this will help or not but when I use to drag race my quad I had a set of straps on the front shocks that I could take all the front suspension out. It would take all the weight transfer out of the equation. I could leave the tree in second gear against the rev limiter and the front end would not leave the ground. so maybe lighten up the front shocks to plant the front end, point and shoot, and PRAY!!!

I saw on line somewhere in the Huntington area...they had a driving lesson class here in the next couple of weeks...dunno if that'll help ya or not !!...
