Hawkeye Rear Spring Adjustment.

Hawkeye Rear Spring Adjustment.
With my channel locks I change the setting during the same trip in some cases. I set the suspension to high for the large heavy loads to bring all my camping stuff in for 4 days down a 15mile goat path. Once I unload at our site I put the suspention back to the soft setting to get the plush ride back for just touring around.

so, does this help it be looser and easier to do donuts, burnouts, etc.? and slide in the turns? and did you make the spring harder or softer?</end quote></div>
Hawkman, a general rule for any vehicle handling is "the stiffer the suspension the more it will take". The only problem with stiff suspension is, there usually isn't any warning that you are close to loosing it during extreme manouevers and thats not a good situation for a young or inexperienced driver.

good luck getting that irs to slide like a sra.. your outside tire will always want to grab during power slides due to the fact that each tire moves on its own trying to gain traction.. i cant wait till you get your sport quad, like a suzuki or yamaha LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
sorry for the hi-jack but i feel compelled[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

TLC, when using the channel locks, do you have to take off or undo the sway bar?

No, not on my Sportsman anyways. These are the extra large type channel locks.
