Those shocks are blingy for sure! How much did you pay for them? Also let us know how the front end works with them on there.

I got them on Ebay for $325. Haven't ridden it yet, but from before and after pushing on front end, it feels less harsh, more of cushy feeling.

Say...Thunder...I buy these from you? Sellers location is about 13 miles from Holly, MI.. Maybe just a coincidence tho...

I put the floats on our vectrex hybrid and a set of gytrs on the 06 apex rtx. I am a tuner and always adjusting, and they have rebound and compression adjustments. Springs are loose with no weight on ,as I need the front down. So far, so good. Front is more plush than the floats at 25 pounds, and no body roll as my 13mm bar and super tight home made sway bar bushings react immediately. With the curve skis, it will really handle, yet takes bumps better.

Curious on how much did you have to tighten down the springs? Bought mine online too and the lock nuts where backed all the way off.

Hang the front end by the bumper. Loosen the lock nuts on the springs. Turn the nuts until the spring unseats. Turn in one round of preload and tighten the lock nuts.
When you have done this the A arms should just about be parallel with the ground. Now you are good to go.
