#264518 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Yes........there is only so much travel on the shock, the stock spring extends the shock to its full length with no load..If you put a shorter spring in then it would sit lower....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #264523 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn....

The way it sits, it measures about 7 1/2 inches.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #264525 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   That looks like the one on my stock shock. It's still on the shock and is 6.75".   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #264527 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn.... In age you understand Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Here is before: And here is after: sure seems like it sits higher now. How do I check where the preload is set?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #264528 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn....

Tricky?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #264533 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   There are several air ride systems on the market. The guy who gave us a deal on the Tricky system isn't with the company anymore. One thing with the Tricky system is the damping, or lack thereof. It uses no hydraulic damper, just a bleeder valve on the non pressurized side. It will not give you the same control that a oil filled damper will. There is at least one air bag type of system out there that keeps your stock damper, with the spring removed. I don't know much more about it other than the pictures I have seen.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #264535 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   This is a shot of both springs, the progressive has white letters that I THINK say Progressive Spring on it. I can't read the lettering, ctrl + to enlarge. Maybe they put the wrong spring on.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #264537 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Yea you can certainly jack the ride up by adjusting the pre load. Did you buy that spring from like a dealer or 2nd hand? Hate to say that maybe you bought a stock spring? Did you see lettering on it?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #264542 IowaRoadie (User) In youth you learn.... In age you understand Senior Boarder Posts: 340 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Yes, I bought it from a forum member, and it does say "progressive suspension" or something like that on it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #264546 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Any info on progressive spring install 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Well maybe someone like bought a dogbone that was really cleanly ground and you just got it on the other way. I would flip it and see. I mean your in Iowa, you ain't doing anything else, this makes no sense at all.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
