I just bolted mine up and left it the way I got it and it seems perfect so I just left it alone

Because the piggyback style on the 02 and later hits the airbox.

Dose it hit the airbox or the subframe? Because someone who runs with no air box could use one with a piggyback rese.

yeah, i got one too. Very nice upgrade.

Can you guys explain to me how to adjust it because im not too familiar with the rebound and stuff like that. Also it seemed to raise my quad a little.

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago. It seems to rebound a little fast for me. How do I adjust it a little bit slower?

turn the rebound adjuster to the left i believe to make rebound slower
