4-Way Slick Tire Tuning Guide
This tuning guide is intended for use with Reaper Suspension’s 4-Way shock for a 28x10.5 or 29x10.5 drag slick tire application.
4-Way Adjustment Basics
- All adjustments should be made from full tight (fully clockwise) on both high-speed (HSC) and low-speed (LSC) compression, and high-speed (HSR) and low-speed (LSR) rebound.
- HSC and LSC adjusters are located on the compression head near the canister.
- HSR is located on the rod guide, and LSR is located on the shaft—regardless of shock orientation.
- Adjust in small increments (2–3 clicks) per pass.
- Use a 9/64” Allen key for HSC, LSC, and HSR. Do not force beyond the stop to avoid damage.
Baseline Settings (Starting/Reset Point)
- High-Speed Compression (HSC): 12 clicks from full tight
- Low-Speed Compression (LSC): 12 clicks from full tight
- High-Speed Rebound (HSR): 4 clicks from full tight
- Low-Speed Rebound (LSR): 12 clicks from full tight
Track Condition Recommended Adjustments
| Track Condition | HSC | LSC | HSR | LSR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Good / Excellent Track | 12 | 12 | 4 | 12 |
| Hot / Greasy Track | 10 | 10 | 6 | 14 |
Tuning Notes
- For improved traction on marginal tracks, soften HSC and LSC slightly to control hit.
- To reduce wheel hop, increase LSR gradually and reassess rebound response.
- Always monitor shock data and tire feedback for fine-tuning.
