The overall length of the shock absorber affects the
amount of droop. To adjust, thread the ball-joint on
or off the bottom spring cap or adapter.

Less shim in front, more shim in rear.
Makes the damping more progressive and increases on-power steering. Recommended
for high-traction conditions when you need to free up the rear.
When the forward battery position is used, make sure that the shock absorber is not
touching the battery. Check also when the rear POD is lifted. If the shock is touching,
use the same amount of shims under both ball ends on the shock absorber.
More shim in front, less shim in rear.
Makes the damping more linear. Increases stability, decreases on-power steering.
Recommended for low- to medium-traction conditions.
REARWARD BATTERY POSITION
When the rearward battery position is used, the shock can be placed lower to decrease
the CG as much as possible. Make sure that the shock absorber is not touching the
battery. Check also when the rear POD is lifted.
