Is this normal?

[kubiac3]

When I push down on the front and let the shocks come back up they dont go all the way back up. I can pull the font up about another inch. Is this normal, is there something that isnt adjusted right? The shocks are works dual rates and there on +2+1 A arms. I traded them used for my old shocks and a arms.

 

Thanks, I know nothing about shocks what so ever.

well, the banshee has its own weight that the shocks have to carry. last i remember, a shee weighs in at about 380lbs...and is also weight biased more to the front....

it sounds normal to me.

Sounds normal to me too. I've got YFZ shocks with +2+1's and it's the same way. It's from the added leverage of the extended arms I'm assuming. Also, if the shocks came back out to full extension with those arms, it would sit way up in the front end.

im saying its normal.

elka even designs shocks with built in sag lower ride height equal better handling not so top heavy.... :beer:

think of going over 20 woopies in a row and your shock coming all the way back up everytime how much abuse the top seal would take and how fast they would blow. thats why they have play in them.

Awesome, thanks guys. I was just wondering because I just noticed it and the shocks are used so wanted to make sure I didnt get a bad set of shocks.

its called free sag and is totally normal. it helps reduce wear and tear on the shocks, and is a function of tire scrub and teh weight of the machine.

Got Travel?

The better the setup, the more you can pull up.

I confirm on this YFZ shocks with +2+1's setup!

I concur! Ever try changing a tire on a lifted truck? Nothing but a hi-lift does the trick, you can jack a scissor jack the whole way up, and the tries are still on the gorund.

I gave up on the scissor jacks a last year, I could never find a good spot on a truck with 37s, I got a hi-lift for my birthday last year, and bought the adapter so I could use it on my sliders. It's nice, you can do 2 tires at 1 time too.

sounds normal to me too when i push mine down and pull it up i can pull it up another 2 inches from where the shocks left off... so it sounds good to me

[xLastShotx]

I have the same exact setup as you do, and mine sags about an inch as well. Its completely Normal.

Are the shocks intended for the +2 arms?
