Thanks for the video! Brand new machine and first ride out yesterday and I was hearing that clunk. I can slide the springs by hand just a bit. I guess this is what I need to do. Thanks for the tool link.

Good information 👍🏻

I watched this a while back. My machine is stock with 35s and I haven’t adjusted springs at all from factory setting. I have just shy of 15 3/4” clearance at lowest point underneath.

Took my shocks off today for the first time. My springs were already 22 1/4”. I did have about 1/2” or so left to adjust the cross over rings so I bottomed them out and tried to keep the 3”s the rear I didn’t even measure the spring length just bottomed out the crossover rings and set the 4”s. Think I just waited too long to fix the sag?

@rightcoastoffroad if my tender at the back are at 3.25 I wouldn’t want to loosen that to 4” would I? I ride with zero gear also and put full to your spec but never messed with tender so doing now

So is this a adjustment I need to do with 3 hrs and already hearing thumping from the shocks already nothing added but a winch?

How much ground clearance did you gain after making these adjustments? I’m sitting at 12.5 inches front and rear, I would like to get back another 2 inches to at least bring me to stock height

So I pulled my front shock off today to do this adjustment because I've been experiencing some sagging since the new cage however my shock measured out exactly 22 1/4 also the 3" on the cross offers already? Is there any other suggestions on links or is that just like a factory setting?

Just curious have you noticed your passenger side front tire having more negative camber then the front drivers side

I don’t think you have to keep the crossover rings at stock spacing. I actually moved mine up a little more to get a plusher ride and let it ride on the softer spring longer. It also doesn’t make the shock knock sound near as much. Just made sure the springs weren’t coil binding.

my r\h front wheel has toed out quite bad ! every thing feels tight no bends ? can i adjust on the ball joint if so please let me know and how to do it THANK YOU . Rick Clark

Where did you come up with your magic 3" number for the crossover ring? You can run it all the way up so you get full use out of the upper spring, instead of the 1" or so it looks like you are using with your 3" number.

Move your crossover ring up 1/2"

27.75 in the rear seems way off?

Nice video. But how many miles you have on your machine? I have 1200 miles with roughly the same accessories and weight as yours. Have adjusted many times throughout the 1200 miles. Now have no more adjustment. Maxed out! 10’’ ground clearance. Not dealing with these junk springs anymore. Made appointment with Shock Therapy today.
