Spring Preload

Spring preload adjustability enables you to modify the ride height and optimize set-up for different riders and terrain.

Spring preload adjustability is used for setting sag or vehicle ride height. As a general rule, your ATV's sag should be 35% to 45% of full wheel travel, in order to provide optimal traction. To increase sag, you want to turn the spring preload ring counter-clockwise when the shock is viewed from the top. Alternatively, if you want to decrease sag (increase vehicle ride height), turn the spring preload ring clockwise.
