    Good looking set, for sure! I see you got the single adjustable, if the spring rates are correct you'll be able to really tune the handling with the adjustment...I would assume the adjustment is on the compression side???

    Hey Mike, Man double check your lower adjuster nuts,from the pictures it appears they are upside down. I'm fairly certain the lips should be up to center the spring,otherwise the spring will destroy the adjuster threads on the shock body.

    Thanks for the heads up but, the "lip" is on the upside to keep the spring centered. I think what you're seeing is the jam nut which is just a bit smaller o.d. than the load carrying nut. Again, thanks for the heads-up and the reply!

    Thanks. Yes, single adjustment, but it's on the rebound side.
