Spring Preload Adjustment
The front and rear shocks have a spring preload
adjustment. Suspension spring preload may be adjusted
to suit different riding conditions or vehicle payloads.
WARNING
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the
vehicle, which could result in an accident and serious
injury or death. Always adjust both the left and right
spring preloads equally.

NOTE: Refer to the shock illustration within this

1. Raise and safely support front or rear of vehicle off
the ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
2. Loosen the upper jam nut adjustment ring (1). Turn
the lower adjustment ring (2) clockwise to increase
preload or counter-clockwise to decrease preload.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT increase the spring
preload by more than one inch (25.4 mm) over
the factory setting.
3. Once you have obtained the correct preload, hold
the lower adjustment ring while tightening the upper
adjustment ring to lock them in place.

IMPORTANT: Always return the spring preload
to the factory setting after the load is removed
from the vehicle. The increased suspension
height will negatively impact vehicle stability
when operating without a load.
