Question for those with Viking shocks

[ero 5.0]

So I recently just put on rear Viking Warrior shocks. Ever since I installed them the rear is super soft. When going over a bump or dip on the freeway the rear is bottoming out and my rear wheels are rubbing when they never have before with my old PP shocks. Ive tightened the compression to almost all the way stiff and it still bottoms out and the rear is nowhere as stiff as I thought it would be.

Has anyone else experienced this or did I possibly get a bad pair of shocks? Thanks.

what are your settings? I have mine 3C 6R. Mine is a DD & I like it the way mine is

I have mine at 6C and 8R. Rides pretty good and solid

I started at 3/5 , tried 6/8 and now tried 8/10 and the rear end still compresses down going over dips on the freeway and rubs/scraps when it never did that with my OEM PP shocks. I took it where I got em installed and they peaked under and said everything looks ok. Im just wondering if this is normal or if I got a bad pair of shocks...

This was what I kept mine on. Sometimes I would go up too 7c and 10r. 3c and 5r was way too soft. What springs do you have.

eibach pro kit. Im just wondering if this is normal. I mean it handles ok going around corners, but it seems very soft vertically. Or if i hit a bump going around a turn it feels loose and tilty if thats a word...

Pros. If I didn't keep a ton of tools in my trunk, I'd go up a bit more.

Are those linear or progressive. I had the Warriors with steeda linear springs. I forget the rate but they were pretty high. I never had any issue but FL is flat.

Didn't you buys those from me? Sorry, I have sold so much in the last 2 months on various forums.

Yeah bro, I just saw that you bought them from me. If it keeps happening on the higher settings, I will refund you if you ship them back to me. Must be the roads in Cali.

i'll bump em up even more tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. Im not really worried about ride comfort. This isnt a DD.

Lol, my truck isn't DD either. I now only have 5200 miles on it after 1 year.
