Spring Preload Adjustment
(Front and Rear)
Shorten the spring for a firmer ride and rough rid-
ing condition or when pulling a trailer.
Lengthen the spring for a softer ride and smooth
riding condition.
WARNING
The left and right shock adjustment on front
or rear suspension must always be set to the
same position. Never adjust one shock only.
Uneven adjustment can cause poor handling
and loss of stability, which could lead to an
accident.
Lift the vehicle. Spring length should be mea-
sured without load on the wheels.
Adjust by loosening lock ring and turning adjuster
ring as desired. Use tool from vehicle tool kit.
