Wow, this has changed greatly from the original video. Does any of the new settings move over to the original spring kit with the different rear spring perches? Plus the spring dividers are installed upside down, please advise. Thanks!
This says to install the dividers upside down from how the factory installs them. What is the reason for that. I am sure there is one, i just want to know.
In order to run the proper spring lengths for the dual rate system the divider is a little low on the shock body. The factory body is not threaded down all the way so you can’t adjust the cross over rings low enough to work. Flipping the divider contacts the cross overs higher where they are adjustable. Supper common practice in racing. 👍🏼
Glad you remade the video. The numbers are different than those I got in the e-mail, this explains some issues I'm having. But why can't I have my shocks valved at Glamis, I was told I had to have both the DRS and the RIS done at the same time, BUT you already sold me the spring kit.
@@ShockTherapyllc The rear live valve preload cannot be set to 2.5” or else the spring will rub the live valve actuator and cannot fully seat on the preload collar.
@@Muffduster this would be the first time in hundreds of kits. Please check the location that your measuring from. If there is still an issue please call the shop and our techs will go over it with you using some pics if you have some. Thank you.
@@wesleydonovan3097 Here are the starting points for preload and crossover for the ES model. Front preload 4 1/2", front crossover 7 1/2". Rear preload 4 3/4", rear crossover 9 1/2". Factory crossovers can be pretty noisy when the spring divider engages. Upgrading to our silent crossovers will take care of that.
Just tighten the shock mounting bolts with no regard to the torque specifications for the shock mounting bolts given by the manufacture of the machine. Just wondering if that is how bolts are tightened on Justin's race car.
@@ShockTherapyllc thanks for the reply. From the advice you've given I should soften the dampers in the front and stiffen the dampers in the rear? I'm already full throttle right before the ramp up over the jump, and I definitely notice the jump selection makes a huge difference. Any recommendations on the exact number of "clicks" on the dampers? PS. I watch all of your videos, and I appreciate the attention to detail in what you guys do. Thanks again
None of us have the special spring compressor tool like you do. Why don’t you do the video how your customers would actually have to install the springs. Disappointed with this oversight on your part.

Is anything different for the Live Valve ES model? Does the divider get flipped as well?
I couldn't get my OEM crossovers off! Can i leave them under the new crossovers?
You will leave them over or above our cross overs and they will work. 👍🏼
Having the same problem

What about with 35 inch tires. Should the ride height be set at 15 or 17?
Every inch taller than a stock tire should add 1/2” to your ride height 👍
I want you to tell me how to install the chassis can am X3

Any plans for a dual rate on the Kawi T4S?? Bandit has them, but Id love to support home town shops!!
If you have one and your local give us a call. We will developer a kit on yours if you like. It will be free for you 👍🏼

You mean the orings or the crossover replacement rings

What spring compressor do you guys recommend?
Jack tech
@@ShockTherapyllc ok thanks.
@@ShockTherapyllc Thank you! What model? 3000?
@@chuckieubanks yes sir
How can I reduce the cars tendency to nose dive off of jumps?
4 things
One better jump selection
Two more front compression
Three less rear compression
Four more throttle off the jump
Hope that helps 👍
