Stop Guessing Your Shock Settings, Dial In the Perfect ‘Set & Forget’ Tune

Learn how to properly tune your adjustable shocks so your suspension finally works with you instead of against you. In this video, we break down how to approach high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and rebound adjustments using the Dobinsons MRR coilovers as our example system.

Whether you're daily-driving, weekend-wheeling, or hauling gear, adjustable shocks can transform your ride quality: if you know how to set them up. We walk through how each adjuster affects comfort, control, bottom-out resistance, and chassis stability, then show you how to build a “set it and forget it” baseline tune tailored to your use case.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the knobs and clickers on modern adjustable suspension, this is the clean, real-world explanation you’ve been looking for.
