The front shocks are pre-valved at the factory in compression and rebound for good street use. The shocks can be adjusted in rebound as per Koni’s instructions if so desired. The front springs are 500lb. Other springs are available for different ride characteristics.
Check the rebound setting on each shock. Although they usually come out of the box with rebound on the lowest setting (which is preferred with the standard spring rates) it is not unusual to find them set otherwise.
WARNING! Incorrect assembly and maintenance of this part can cause serious injury or death.
The front/ shock extended measurement is 15.15” center to center. They are 2.50” shorter than the solid axle rear shocks.
If using the Nickle plated shocks, these must be mounted with the body of the shock down.
