I've installed my suspension . . . it took Jason and I almost no time . . . once you subtract the time spent drinking beer, and the extra time spent trying to figure out which beer was mine, and which was his . . . ("well, mine just came out of the fridge, so it should have more condensation . . .") . . .
GC/AGX's . . . I'm still analyzing the ride but 9.5 hours from VA to NY, told me that I'll love it . . . eventually.
All I have to do is get over the install, and my concerns about the springs holding together in the rear, and the collars staying put all around.
Geo, it seems as if I may not have used enough duct tape. I don't say that because I have noise . . . I say that because I'm hearing that a lot of it should be used. I only used one layer.
I'm REALLY concerned about the front springs though. How tight should the piston lock nuts be?
It seems that when I've tightened all the way (normal thing to do with any nut), I can't adjust the height of the spring. The collar won't turn unless "coerced" with a chisel/hammer (don't ask!) . . .
Anyway, what are the recommendations for the front install/adjustment?
I'm under the impression that I'd get more suspension travel by moving locking the nuts on the piston rod as close to the top of the threaded portion as possible, true?
If so, that would also mean that I actually compress the spring quite a bit by adjusting the lock nuts ALL the way to the bottom of the threaded portion of the piston rod, true?
I think there is some extra suspension tuning to be had by playing with the rod, and moving the nuts around a bit . . .
