Mitch says "2 inches is a big deal" I've been trying to tell the Ladies that for years.

Kentucky, Tennessee There's Rockbouncers, and they run Side-by-sides in full blown compitions FYI

[outdoorzone]

Good stuff guys!! Definitely a critical adjustment!
I run mine a little higher for rock crawling and deep rutted trails I ride! I have your dual rate spring kit for my XX! Works great at 15.5” rear 16” front!

[jeffgojkovich]

I have always wondered why you don't just give a measurement of exposed shock shaft to measure rather than having to measure the tires and such to get a ride height?

I have an 2021 X3 max DS TURB R, I have been struggling to fig out the correct ride height. It's pretty low. I have been watching most of your videos trying to educate myself. I guess I need to see how to fig out ways and adjustments in person. I'm a hands on visual learner!

Hey guys i just watched your tool video. Check out a rastal miners wrench for your hammer/adjustable wrench

I have a 2020 General 2 non XP, factory said it was supposed to be 12 front and back. Never could get there almost maxing out the shock adjustment with No one in the car. I am ordering your shocks, but have already added 4" bracket lift, arched A-arms and went with 15" rims with 32" TR too much math to figure out.

Let say I need to adjust my ride height 2 inches. How many inches do I need to adjust at the spring to get that 2 inches?

[stanleyfranse]

So a xp w/ 32” tires. 15 F
14 1/2 R it has a 3” lift and high clearance A rams. So I should be looking at 16 1/2 F And 16 R Is that correct

[JohnnyMoseley]

When measuring the front X3 I am confused by adding or subtracting an inch. Vid states that the location is an inch lower than the optimal measuring point but he states to subtract an inch from measurement to determine ride height. Wouldn't you need to add an inch to determine ride height? If the tape says 13.5" then my current ride height would be 14.5" and I adjust preload based on that?

[ballzdeep]

So does this pertain to stock shock systems aswell? I just put 32s on it and haven't done anything with shocks or was even aware of it.

[randomtech]

How about lowering the ride height for better cornering and more plush / comfortable ride? I have a rzr 1000 s with fox podium 2.0 and think they are way to stiff even at softest click. I had same car with walker evans and they were a dream very plush and confortable, everytime i needed it i just adjusted the stiffness with the clicks.

[josephespinosa]

How important is your axle angle, what is to much after adjustment and settling?

[cesarcolio]

What shut be the ride high on Yamaha yxz 2017 with 30" tires???

[McRVP]

At 20:44 in the timeline are you measuring that round shape on the frame from ground to top, center or bottom of it?

[DanTheRVMan]

Why wouldnt we measure control arm angle instead of ride height since there are so many variables such as tire squish surface and other things that could affect ride height?

[hugosagredo]

When increasing ride height does it give it negative camber ?

[groil]

I have a 2019 CanAm Maverick Sport XRC, that has the Shock Therapy duel-rate springs that was purchased and adjusted by one of your dealers. Can you tell me what the ride height should be, as well as the cross-over adjustment?

[JMSynthetics]

Is the turbo s different than what you went over today because those are not what I was told when I got my RIS. Was told 16f -15.5r car on, in soft mode with passenger weight in car

[justinluczak]

What if you’re adjusting ride height on stock suspension on an older car ? should I do that with everyone in the car
