HOW TO ADJUST THE RIDE HEIGHT:
A preload adjustment ring is located under the head of the shock absorber. This ring is used
to increase or decrease the tension in the springs as well as for adjusting the ride height of the
vehicle (frame or ground clearance). See p.10 for detailed instructions on how to use the
preload adjustment. While the ride height of the vehicle is a matter of vehicle model and driver
preference, the front and rear heights need to be in balance.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADJUST THE RIDE HEIGHT:
Whatever ride height setting you choose, the height must be similar at the front and rear
of the vehicle, with the front slightly higher (from 1/4 to 3/4 inch maximum).
A higher ride height will provide more ground clearance with less chances to bottom out
but will make the suspension stiffer.
A lower ride height will reduce the ground clearance and make the suspension softer, but
will make the vehicle more prone to bottoming out.
In other words make sure your race sag is correct, then start softening up a little at a time to see what you like. It will ride softer, have less dampening and have more roll. I would only take a couple 2-3 turns at a time.
