I jacked my Talon up this morning to do the front and rear final diff oil change and the rear shocks won't lock out. Fronts do but the rears won't. I don't know much about how these shocks work. Anyone have thoughts on this?
What does it mean The rear shocks won't lock out? What is the purpose of doing so?
On the Talon with live valve when you jack it up without the engine running no matter how high you lift it the shocks lock at that height. They will stay at that height until you start the engine up, put it in gear and start rolling. That’s when they go back down.
Is that just so you dont have to jack it up as high to get the tires off the ground?
I might be wrong but I don't think my RLV locks out the suspension drop when I lift it, but it does lock out the suspension from compressing again till it is turned on.

I'm pretty sure they will drop like a non LV and won't compress until the unit is put in gear. They always sit high when taken off a 2 post lift.
Yes you're right, with FLV when you have it jacked up and let it down the shocks do not compress until you start the engine up. Right now my rear suspension does compress when you let it down off the jack when the engine is not running. That's what's bugging me.
