I want to see some pics of Elka's on +1 with the ride height adj. all the way up and the ride height all the way down. I just ordered Elka's and Burgard+1 a-arms. I already have a RPM +1-+4 axle. How many inches of adjustment for ride height do they have? Can I set them for stock ride height? Thanks

my burgard +1s with elkas....at normal ride height. i didnt adjust it all the way up and down, but there is plenty of adjustment there, nothin to worry about. why would you want to run it at the stock height? that defeats the whole purpose of zps.

Call Elka and ask them what your ride hieght should be set at. I was told for XC racing with 22/20 tires that I should be at 8.5 to 9 inches with me on the quad. (that's frame to ground clearance)

I run Houser +1 arms with elkas so it's pretty much the same setup you have.

When I got my Elka's they came with a setup manual that tells what your ride height should be according to wether you ride XC or MX. I believe Rico is right with the 8.5" to 9" for XC. I wouldn't go for stock ride height because you won't gain the full handling benefit of the shocks.

you shouldn't have to bring it up for HM that's all i do is xc type riding and little mx here and there but when i had my suspension setup i went with an xc setup and laz had me set my ride hieght at 8"
