Ok, so I am getting older and my back is starting to suck. The old joyner trooper seats were great for their time, but can't compare to what's out there now.

I really liked the stock seats in my wife's wildcat and I was able to pick up 4 of them for $150 used. They lay back about 15 to 20 degrees more than the trooper. I also got rid of the metal plates saving about 30 to 40 lbs total (the wildcat seats are super light). They aren't adjustable, but they are easily removed by just pulling a latch in the back and lifting forward jus like many of the rzr's and wildcats out there. They are really going to save my back.

I modified my entire suspension and my spring rates won't work for a stock set up. I have written a lot about my suspension on this forum and you should be plenty of info if you search. There are others on here that have listed spring rates that work for a stock suspension.

Jeff, I am not selling the other seats yet, but you are first in line if I do.

These seats took way more effort that it was worth to position them to an acceptable position. I already run my seat in as far back as it will go and so I had to figure out how to have them all the way back and leaned back another 20 degrees. I probably lost about an inch of leg room in doing so. They also sat higher and I had to mount them lower and removed my storage box below the drivers seat. I have to build a custom storage box now. The bonus is it will be bigger.

It still would be nice to know what you are running. As far as searching goes, there is a ton of inconclusive information. You can find bits of what people initially tried, but I've yet to find numbers on what someone runs and is satisfied with the results. Now there are a couple of posts with satisfied members running air shocks. Personally I'm not interested in air shocks. Actually I have a buggy I will be selling, but prior to selling I am removing the shocks. I have 3 pair on this particular buggy, one pair of Walker Evans (piggy back), Fox (piggy back) FOA ( remote res), so scratch the brand of shocks, what about springs rates. The rear being the most important, I would hate to buy 4 springs that won't work.

Spring rates I am running:

Front 350 over 225

Rear 550 over 550

Thank you, really appreciate the info. I know I have 2 sets of 350lb and a pair of 200lb springs. I have a pair of 600lb also, so it looks like I have some good stuff for starters. Do you remember your droop percentage?

      American SportWorks LM650 starting problems.
      By Mike Turner
      American SportWorks LM 650 won’t start at times. Starter won’t engage the solenoid just “clicks” much like a weak battery would cause. Battery was replaced and problem went away and then came back. Replaced positive battery terminal. Problem resolved then returned. Replaced negative battery terminal. Problem gone then returned. Replaced the positive and negative battery cable ends. Problem resolved and now returned. The repair lasts for maybe 12 starts, then the solenoid just “clicks” again as it will with a weak battery. So I replaced the ignition switch. Problem solved for a week. With each “fix” the problem is resolved but only temporarily. Does anyone have any suggestions ? To replace the starter is expensive especially if it’s not the problem.

      Travel time question
      By Greg Kilgore
      I would really like to know what you guys think about this. I'll try not to ramble and make it as clear as I can.
       
      I took this new job with companyX as a fiber splicer a year ago. I have a 45' bucket truck and 10or12 x 8 ft enclosed splice trailer I have to take home. Within the last 6 months all the management in the splice dept left. Now the power/construction management and higher ups are filling in. Just recently we were told travel to our 1st job is not payable even though we are in a company vehicle. 
      We are union so I asked the union business manager about this. His reply was be grateful you were paid travel as long as you were and that you don't have to drive your POV to the job.
       
      Last week I had 50hr total. The job area is 4-4.5 hrs away. My time was reduced to 44.5 hrs since we were told this travel thing on Tuesday of that week. I wasn't hired for this area. I was hired for area a lot closer to home. 
       
      Pay is good. Work is not hard. Insurance is through the union and so far pretty good.
      But I hate the thought of having to work extra just to make a 40hr paycheck. Anyone who has to drive as part of their job knows windshield time is not easy.
       
      Anyway what do you guys think. Should I look for a different job or just suck it up because of the decent pay and health insurance.

      2022 Bobcat 34XL Brake pedal depress to start getting impossible
      By Jason S
      Good afternoon,
      I have a 2022 Bobcat 34XL.  Over time, I have to press harder and harder on the brake pedal before the ignition will fire. Now I have to practically stand on it with all my weight to get it to start.  Does anyone know if there is a spring or something that might need replacing, or have had this issue before? I don't have any schematics of the brake sensor/assembly.
      TIA

      MSU 500 Starting Issues
      By Jim D
      MSU 500 does nothing when you turn the key. No power to display, fuel pump or anything. Come back a while later and everything works perfect. Starts right up. Battery is fully charged. Could this be the ignition going bad. When it doesn't power up I've found nothinf that will correct it other then waiting and trying later.
