P500 Walker Evans shocks for P500

[jay_man81]

I was thinking that as well. But if the 200s balance out better i figured id give them a shot over the 175s...not sure how much stiffer theyd be with the plow off and then adjusted softer vs 175s at a normal setting

I think you will be fine. Like others said you may just need to run the preload higher and set the shocks to full stiff. And plowing is a smaller amount of seat time then trail riding.

If the plow drops the front a bit more then you like you could adjust up the preload a bit.Thats what sets the ride height anyways?
I'm guessing you'll only have the plow on in the driveway and not rough areas?
I'd guess all springs softer than the 250lb ones are eibach red? Anyone know?

All the ones they had me test were red eibach ones. That was 175, 200, and 225lb one’s.

I guess if theyre all red then i definitely will just run the most comfy ones

Called WE today, even though it hasn't been three weeks yet. As stated before, I have no patience. Guess what has been shipped already and are due to arrive on Saturday? That's right!

Hopefully that means mine are not far behind then. I think i ordered mine about three days after you.

Woo hoo, christmas in February today. Shocks showed up along with my l track tie downs for my aluminum rear box.

I got a surprise today too, weren't suppose to show up until tomorrow.

Did they send you any stickers? Never understood why some companies wouldn't throw some 50 cent stickers in the box to get the free advertising.
Springs will be going black tomorrow.

Exchanging them for 175 lb ?

No, coming off and painted black. I'll leave the rest of them as is but those springs are just glowing.

They are the Eibach 175 lb. springs and looks like taking them off the shock will be super easy.

For some.reason I thought they were the 200 lb springs !

They use 175 front and 200 rear ?

Just unscrew the preload, pop the retaining clip off, and off they come. The nice things about these being shorter is you don’t have to mess with ratchet straps or some other sketchy means of taking the tension off like I had to with the heavier springs...lol.

I remembered that and went back to watch it again. I've found myself going back and watching other videos you've done too. Good sh** jay!

You got that right, been snowing and blowing here too. I fired up the heater though and got one coat on yesterday, snapped a pic for a visual. Hit them with a heavy second coat today. Gloss black.
