With Khiro, I typically go with something like red/red or red/yellow barrels in the back. Depends on your weight, if you're lighter and you like a little more give in the back, you might even go with a red/blue combination.

Sheldon had some really nice setup with a Randal DH bushing combo in the back, I'll try to find out what that was...

I'd really like to try out the Venoms and the JimZ's in the back as well.

I used the jimz and stock because that's what I had available, and fortunately it worked! If you have some jimz around I'd say go for it, but there's no need to buy some jimz just for pumping, unless the price is right Wink

Jimz are crazy expensive (for bushings that is), and they are amazing, but I wouldn't buy two tops and two bottoms just to put a bottom in a rear truck. They're absolutely worth it if you're into DH though.

you might destroy the jimzs though.

i tried it once, and worried about it getting really...worn out.

How loose was your rear though? cause I don't feel that there is enough actual pumping in the rear for it to be worn down. Or did the bushing start to look shredded?

if you can get ahold of a blue stim and red khiro combo, i find that setup to be amazing on any RTS
