Ok...reading the instructions, it looks like the lower fastening point can be adjusted. I'd just make sure they are equally adjusted maybe half way of the entire travel.

Additionally....keep in mind you've bought an adjustable system. It will need to be tweaked.

Okay it's starting to make sense now. After doing some research it looks like the rear springs need to be "preloaded" which is where that adjuster on the bottom of the shock comes in play (I think). I'm sure it'll all make a lot more sense when I'm actually doing the install. Anyone else have some more input?
Thanks Dane!

Thats how I lowered mine. I adjusted the one on the spring and the one on the shock.Originally Posted by Ssparrow

Where'd you get the spring compressor?

Still have them?
And...?

Whoops! Installation wasn't to bad. The only thing that was tricky was getting the old rear springs out. I've been driving on them for about a week now and they feel great! Only complaint I have is i seem to have the "ricer bounce" that I'm still trying to get figured out. But with a little tinkering I should be able to get it worked out.
Capo
^ glad you are liking them. Hope you can lose the bounce! Pics in your project thread?

What spring rates are you running? When I installed mine I had to shorten the strut almost all the way to even get it to bolt up because my rear spring was so short.
