    Kenny, I noticed you have your front shocks mounted with the adjuster UP. Isn't that hard to reach? I have mine down, and easy to reach through the lower A-arm. I spent this week comparing the difference between full soft and full hard, so getting access to the adjusters was important. Handling really improved once I reached setting 6, 8 was a little firmer, and 10 was a bit too stiff for comfort. I'm going with 7 or 8.

    I wish I had taken the time to spray my shock bolts with PB Blaster. The right front shock top bolt snapped off during removal. It was the last one I did, too. All the others came off without any problem. And that shock was one of the good ones. The left front was blown.

    It's not hard to do if you have the right tools, patience, and lube.
