If there is a suspension shop in your area i think it wouldn't cost more than $10 to swap it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddsheee Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 that's what I thought, yeah a local shop wanted $80. brought it into work and gonna give it a try. got to go riding on Saturday. Got it done. Removed the old soft spring with 2 people pressing down on it and the other removed the retaining plate. Used threaded rod and large plates to compress spring. Locked it in with about 10 fat zip ties, released the plates from the threaded rod and put spring in place. Cut zip ties very carefully. Ready to install shock and test ride on Saturday!
