I noticed after going to over 9,000 ft while on the Sparks run, my suspension now fells very stiff and I feel every bump on the fwy. Is it from the altitude on the suspension components?

Has this ever happened to anybody else?

Just wondering.

 
Pass hopping in Colorado, mine's been all the way to 14k+ feet without issue.

You sure nothing else changed?

Yeah, never heard of or felt altitude causing suspension issues. Did you add air sometime during the trip? I'm with Silver Spirit on this one.

 
I did not change anything (air pressure or suspension adjustments). Air pressure is a usual culprit. I will check to see if the pressure went higher later.
