    whats the best settings for shocks when riding on-road, that will decrease wheelies, flipping, and handle best?

    I'm not sure about the different spring stiffnesses for the Jato, but a good way to start is lower the truck, increase the oil weight and run stiffer springs.
    It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

    I run my shocks looser in the back and harder in the front..
    make the stance so that the rear is slightly higher than the front after u push it down and release it. make it so there is a good amount of body roll. it works great for me and i can now only wheely when i hit a speed bump or some type of bumpy surface

    Kyleader, I'm not sure what body roll is, but u r saying to stiff the front and soften the back for better on-road performance with less wheelies and better handling right?

    body roll is when your body and actually move alil (like tip back and foruth) when sharply turning..
    ide say just go to lower shock oil../
