I have a set of TCS shocks and I saw somewhere that they are ride height adjustable. Is this true? If so how do I do it?

Blaster668,

Set your quad on a stand so that the front suspension can fully extend. The gold spring on the top of the shock is a crush spring, so it is extreamly soft. Pull down on it and you'll notice that the ring on top of it will drop down and you'll be able to see a c-clip in one of the grooves of the shock. By moving it up you'll lower the quad, by moving it down you'll raise it. BUT you can proably only move it up two grooves before the springs become loose (thats with it still on the stand). You don't want them to be loose so if you want to go even lower pull the load spring (bottom one) up and it'll compress the top one. Next pull the clip holding the the bottom spring on the shock. Next you'll need to pull the shock off the quad cuz you have to pull both springs off. If you'll look at the top spring you'll see sevral spacers. These are crossovers, by pulling one out it'll allow the top spring to crush farther. After you pull one (proably the smallist) put it all back together. If it goes lower than you want use the top clip to raise it back up a little.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, that helps alot. Do I have to do all of these steps for just a little change or just the first one? I knew those spacers had to have something to do with it.
