I'm planning on putting TCS o-preload shocks on the front of my 400ex.

If I keep the rear shock stock how much lower will the front sit then the rear?

Will it make it handle badly?

Thanks!!!

 

HOw do zero preload shocks work? DO they still have as much travel

 

I have TCS's on the front and a TCS rear ZPS-style rebuild on the rear of my '99 400ex. You can expect the front to sit about 1"-1.5" lower than it does now with stock A-arms. The difference will be larger with extended A-arms. I personally suggest that you spend the extra $$$ for the 0-preload rebuild on the rear to level out the bike. I have benn quite happy with my shocks. The harder and faster you ride, the better they work. TCS now has a triple-rate shock which might work better at slower speeds. I have the dualies so I do not really know.
