does anyone know who much weight the factory shocks are weighted for?

i am 180 dressed and probably 190 with race gear. i am having a hard time getting the shocks dialed in.

another question i had is are the front springs adjustable?

Don't know about the weight but yes the front springs are adjustable turn the lock nuts at top of shock

Also it will take some time to break in the shocks so get some time on it and they will smooth out easier

No, he's right, brand new shocks will take a little time to break in and act normal.

another question is do you have to have a special tool to adjust the spring?

:D no if you loosen the top lock nut (tap the nut counter clockwise with a hamer and screw driver) you can turn the hole spring and botom lock nut by hand. its easy . i'm 215lbs in gear and only have 4 threads showing on top .
