The vehicle is lowered more than 1.5" from stock height or "slammed" 2. Lowering is done by using extremely short springs or cutting springs as such modifications can cause bottoming of the shock absorber or bump stock 3. The shocks or struts are modified(e.g. aftermarket adjustable spring seats and collars) (my words AKA coilover sleeves) We can recognize shocks damaged by excessive lowering by inspecting the piston rod. The warranty for shocks by too much lowering will not be honored. Recommended Guidelines: 1. Do not lower the vehicle too much. Most cars can safely be lowered "to 1.5". Vehicles lowered too far experience a harsh ride, damage the suspension including the shocks, and create alignment problems. 2. Do not lower a vehicle which will be driven on rough roads. 3 You may shorten your bump stops between 1/3 and 1/2 of the orginal length, but do not remove them all together. As a rule, do not shorten more then 1/2. 4. Cutting springs or the use of short springs can affect the travel of the shock. The use of spindles or modified A-frames, however, does not affect travel. Special Notice If Lowering The Vehicle This notice is for customers who intend to lower their vehicle or are installing AGX shocks on a lowered vehicle. AGX shock absorbers are designed for vehicles of stock height. One may lower a vehicle a small amount without greatly affecting the performance, but the amount varies from stock & how the lowering is done may adversely affect the performance and life of the shock absorber.
