Thanks, Lance.
I think I can deal with some noise for the increased performance. I definitely prefer it to smelling burnt rear gear oil or even having to change out a smoked posi unit.

This upgrade is something I should have done a long time ago. Getting the rear spring rate and ride height we wanted...along with the preferred shock travel meant having no preload on the rear coilover springs. In fact, at full droop there was about 4" of gap between the top of the spring and bottom of retainer on the shock body. It got to where I carried a rubber mallet with me and if the rear of the car had been lifted, I'd smack the spring on the side to seat it again on the upper retainer.

This caused some wear on the shock body itself from the spring rubbing it when not fully seated (among a couple other issues also). So when I pulled the shocks off to send them back to Ridetech to get re-valved with the latest Ron Sutton Secret Sauce valving this week, I decided it was time to fix it properly.

BTW, HUGE kudos to Bret and Jeff at Ridetech and Ron for getting my shocks in, repairing and re-valving them and back out the same day!! Really appreciate you helping me with my limited time table to get this done.

On page 183 of Ron's new catalog are RST # 7750-A & 7750-B shown here, a spring divider and take up spring.

No more carrying a hammer with me to reset the rear springs into the perches...or damage to my shock bodies.

And stay tuned... I'm working on a plan for a MAJOR upgrade being put in place to happen very soon... :G-Dub: Hopefully get things rolling early this week...

:peepwall:

GREAT!!! Glad to hear you're ordering a Track Warrior so I can have someone to play with!

How many boxes does it take to have everything from page 65 of Rons new catalog shipped?
