Ok if anyone has seen my video then you know i like jumping and i want to jump higher. I was wondering if anyone had a good shock setup for landing BIG jumps. These little 4' to 8' jumps just dont do it for me anymore. I already have a few alum. pieces im gonna get. I want to keep some plastic to give breaking points. If something is gonna break i want it to be the cheapest and easiest thing to fix.:devilasst:

Oh and what kinda preloading should i do?

I would stick with the stock shocks- they are cheap and easy to fix/replace. What aluminum parts are you getting? Those tend to bend and stay that way, the nylon parts flex.

harder springs in the front should give you a preload for better/easier backflips. less absorbsion when you hit the ramp initially so you should carry more momentum. hardest springs all round will do it.

My main concern with jumping my house isnt the landing, its not getting enough speed and air to clear the house. I wonder how my wife would fell with a savage sticking out the side of the house?!
