I was looking and could not see any preload adjusters on the front springs:banghead:
I usually like mine cranked up a bit.
Will the front end be too soft?

They're pretty darn perfect right as they come! :2thumbs:

I understand but how can it be near perfect for everyone.
My friend is 100 lbs and I am on the bigger side of 250.
Are we going to have to change the springs?

It was explained to me that when the geometry changed the need for preload adjustment was not needed. Not sure why or how it works but that's what I was told.

I guess time will tell.

When the shock was laid down in the front, it took more movement from the suspension to move the shock; the spring rate and preload were more important.
Now that they've stood it up; the suspension travel is now more directly tied to the shock travel.
This kind of de-emphasizes the importance of spring preload and spring rate a little bit... :thumbup:
