Sagging in the back

[Bjohnsonf15]

Just installed Cfab a arms and I’m sitting low in the rear end. Will adjusting the preload on the fox shocks help this?

Yes that is the nice part of the FOX shocks. I just upgraded my deluxe shocks to Fox with a constant spring rate vs the dual rate that comes on the FOX. Made a huge difference, I got 2.5 in of ground clearance back. It's amazing how fast we add weight to the buggy. I had about 500lbs added to my total weight from bumpers winch, dual battery, stereo, trial tools, etc.

Where did you get the springs from?

I adjusted my Fox QS3 original springs, cranked them down exactly 1" from factory settings. Very happy with results, have 12k miles on machine and gained 2" height in back with A-arms now back to original angle as well as correct vertical camber restored.

Thanks for the info. Going give that a try. Just frustrating after installing the a arms. Was running a 2.5 bracket lift but had to take it off when Installing the a arms. It was putting my shocks in one hell of a bind.

Got them from Amazon. But you can find them several websites. There is some good information in the forums if you search. I forget what the standard rates are but you basically compress the lower spring rate when you increase the preload.

Note you don't have to change the springs. It just helps.

I installed the 300 lb single rate springs in the rear of my P1000-3 and very happy with the result. Got rid of the compression of the Fox progressive rate OEM springs and restored full travel and ground clearance.
