I am noticing a lot of sag on my unit, doesn't help when I added a winch, tree kickers and a radio, but thats besides the point. Has anyone adjusted their pre load on stock fox shocks? How many threads do you have showing or how far?
This was a used Talon when I bought it, but did see it have shock therapy spings on there, I do not think those came stock.

Thanks for any information.

You can adjust the preload or look into Bandit tenders. Bandit tenders did improve ride also and were not too expensive. They now have full spring kits also, but I just did tenders. Ran them on both the a 4 seater and 2 seater.

Since you already have aftermarket springs, just tighten the preload until your ground clearance is where you want it. My load (tools, spares and bed extender) squished out my rear tenders so I got Weller Racing's recommended springs for my weight and tightened the preload until I was back at the spec'd 13" ground clearance on my R (14" with 30" tires).

See @MX4life320 I told you in that other thread thats a Loaded question and everyone will be very different. You just got to add some, then drive some, add some, drive some. Or remove some till you like what you see and feel. If you do what we have set up, ill guarantee you wont be happy cuz were all different.
