Is anyone bottoming their frame when landing big jumps on their 400EX ? I have Riken radials on the front,(which lowered the front a little),18x11x8 turf tamers on the back (lowered the rear a little) and the TCS front shocks lowered the front a little. My problem is when landing a big jump my (1" lowered pegs), are hitting the ground with my frame. Any answers to this problem? All of my shocks have been built for my 200lb weight

the rear shock has also been built for my weight and riding style. i think i'll just go to 20" rear turf tamers, i didn't have the problem then.

DEAR DUDE, YOU HAVE RUN INTO THE PROBLEM THAT FACES ALL BIG JUMPERS...ITS CALLED EQUIPMENT LIMITS..AND THAT SUCKS..EVEN WITH THE BEST STUFF, IF YOU HAVE THE NUTS, YOULL HIT THE EQUIPMENT LIMITS...I HAVE THE AXIS WITH PLUS TWO A ARMS ON MINE, AND I EVEN BOTTOM OUT WHEN COMING DOWN FROM 12 OR SO FEET ON A LANDING OF 25 DEGREES OR LESS...ALL I CAN RECCOMEND IS SEND YOUR SHOCKS BACK AND HAVE THEM VALVE FOR A MUCH HEAVIER WEIGHT, SAY 270LBS..IT WILL BE A ROUGH RIDE, BUT YOULL BE ABLE TO DO THOSE CHICKS IMPRESSING JUMPS...LOL..
