Installation

Installation uses basic tools and needs no major modifications. Step-by-step instructions and ride height charts are below.

Installation instructions

Note: Final setting is your ride height, not preload!

Professional installation is required for the shock caps.

Important notes:

• Each machine may have different weight due to aftermarket accessories.

• Springs are labeled for correct placement.

• A spring compressor may be required (available for loan at local parts stores).

• Aftermarket kits may produce slight noise or wear—this is normal and harmless.

• Always secure your machine over the tires during towing to avoid spring damage.

Initial Measurements (Front & Rear Ride Height)

1. Park the machine on level ground.

2. Measure:

   • Front: At the forward lower A-arm mount.

   • Rear: Just below the tow hook.

3. Record both measurements.

Front Tender Spring Installation

1. Clean and lubricate shock threads using a wire brush and WD-40-type lubricant.

2. Jack up the front of the machine and remove the shocks.

3. Place shocks upside-down in a vise.

4. Loosen the top spanner nut all the way down to the reservoir.

5. Remove the lower spring coupler and slide off existing springs.

6. Install new tender springs, then reattach the lower spring retainer (use spring compressor if needed).

7. Tighten the spanner nut 3 inches down from the black shock cap (where the aluminum ends).

8. Reinstall shocks and tighten shock bolts.

9. Roll the machine forward/backward 5–6 feet to settle the suspension.

10. Adjust ride height:

    • Tightening the spanner nut 1 inch = raises machine 2 inches.

    • Loosening it (toward top) = lowers the machine.

11. Fine-tune as needed based on accessories/weight.

Rear Tender Spring Installation

1. Park the machine and re-measure/record front and rear ride height.

2. Clean and lubricate rear shock threads.

3. Remove the rear wheels.

4. Loosen the top spanner nut. Spin the springs to release the lower retainer.

5. Remove only the lower shock bolt. Leave the top bolt torqued in place.

6. Slide off springs from the bottom of the shock.

7. Install new tender springs first, followed by main springs.

8. Reinstall and torque the lower shock bolt.

9. Add 1 inch of preload by moving the spanner nut down 1 inch.

10. Reinstall wheels and remove machine from jack.

11. Roll the machine forward/backward 5–6 feet to settle suspension.

12. Adjust ride height as needed (same adjustment principle as front).

Crossover Ring Adjustment (If Equipped)

• Install silencer rings between the black slider and crossover ring to prevent noise.

• After ride height is set and suspension is settled, adjust crossover rings:

  • Mountain Riding:

    • Rear: 3.5" above black slider

    • Front: 2.0" above black slider

  • Desert/Whoop Riding:

    • Rear: 2.0" above black slider

    • Front: 2.0" above black slider
