VEHICLE RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
If the vehicle ride height must be adjusted, you must use the spring platform/perch on the shock body instead
of the suspension pushrod. This is also the proper method for adjusting corner weighting during suspension
set-up. Adjusting ride height with the pushrod will ne gatively affect your vehicle's suspension and bellcrank
geometry.
