stock rear shock disc threads

[2001 trx400ex]

how much should i tighten up the discs on the read shock for taking 70 foot jumps. i already have it on maximum dapening and i dont have enough money for aftermarket suspension or springs.

what are u talking about:huh

where the dics's are above and below the rear shock spring. There are threads for the disc's and it can be ajusted up or down. i was wondering where to ajust those disc's to.

[Extremeracer167]

well those are called Preload nuts. And if u want it to be stiffer, then u take them down and compress the spring. But that isnt really going to help much with big jumps. It will just make your shocks stiffer on smaller hits

doesnt preload only effect ride height?:confused:

[2001 trx400ex]

it affects rebould speed and spring stiffness

[2001 trx400ex]

what do you mean by stiffer on smaller hits. and where should i set it for big jumps
