Next, turn the shock over and tighten the
spring seat against the spring. After the
spring seat makes contact with the spring,
turn it one-half of a revolution. This will add
a small amount of preload to the coil spring.
Tighten the set screw locking ball with an
allen wrench. With the spring seat at this
position, adjusting the spring seat up or
down 1/2-inch can make small changes in
the vehicle ride height.
The designed ride height of the suspension
has the compressed coilover at 12” eye to
eye. If you install a 195/65-15 tire on a 6”
wide 15” diameter 3 1/2” backspace wheel,
the tire will have 6 1/2” of thread width be 8”
wide at the section, have a mounted
diameter of 25” and a rolling radius of 12”.
This will hold the bottom of the
crossmember 4 1/2” off the ground. The tire
will hold the spindle centerline 12” off the
ground. If you use a larger or smaller
diameter tire, the crossmember clearance
will change accordingly
These are the stainless steel shock
mounting spuds used at the top and bottom
of the shocks. If you did not purchase
these, use the 1/2 x 2-1/2 bolts and locknuts
provided with your suspension kit.
Insert the shock from the bottom. It will fit
between the antiroll bar and the lower A-arm
shock mount cross tube.
