Springs on control rods

[Dbo]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie. Put springs on my controll rods and it seems to work great. No sag. I don't think it can hurt anything. My only thing is I live in ohio and go to the UP twice a year. I wish I could test it out. Figured I would post it here and maybe someone would happen to try it out before I did.tryed to post picture and it said was to big

Tryed to attach a photo but it says too many Kbps or what ever. Ill figure it out sooner or later

Would be nice to see how it works. What kind of springs you find

You can shrink the photo size using "Paint" on your computer. Click the "START" menu button, select "all programs", then click "Accessories", then click "Paint".

I'm trying to think how this works...springs over control rods?

Me too, doesn't seem like it would do anything.....
Maybe you mean heavier main springs......

X2 86lb springs a guess for starters?

Http://youtu.be/AVKZ58VexUw sorry. I phone correcting me. Yes ordered like thirty pound and eighty and thought the thirty was just to weak. I'm sure you could adjust the spring strength to a persons weight but I don't know where you would start.
Torsion spring was on soft. Clicker was set to soft. And front shock spring was like seven to ten treads lose so I could strap it down to get skid out. So when I adjust front spring back up it will get a little stiffer. But would like to hit some big stuff to see what it needs

You have removed the nuts and plastic washers. The actual control rod will now hammer into the upper cross shaft damaging both. In the stock form if you remove the plastic washer and adjust the nuts to max transfer the nuts do not bottom out on the rod holder. I would be cautious as to when the suspension transfers and the rods bottom out.

I installed stiffer main springs and it was the best cure for the sag. I also installed the Star kit and it helped with ride and weight transfer since the heavy springs eliminated any weight transfer.
