How low on standard shocks?

[Abrowne70]

Hey guys, got a set of some sort of springs which are pretty low, just wondering how they will handle stock shocks and how long they will last???

gotta know asap so i know whether to do it or not

give it a go on the standard shocks, it cant hurt. when i first got my VN i had her with lowered fe2 springs and standard pedders comfort shocks in the back, was a bit bouncy.

Have now got lower King Springs with gas ryder shortended shocks though.. handles nicely.

will handle pretty shit.... just get shortened all round (more important for the rear) and just do it once.... saves stuffing around later on

If the shock holds the spring in ok, then i say give it a go but expect the shocks to start leaking in a few months. If its rear and its live axle, then they take about 5 minutes to change later on anywayz

i did this years ago, within 12 months your shocks will be STUFFED bear in mind i had stock ride height shocks with ssl's...

[Peter89]

exactly how much lower could the stock shocks take without damage?

iv got standard shocks in mine and they are getting pretty stuffed

haha no wonder, its slapped on its ass :P TUFF!

I got shortened pedder's shockers and there stuffed now.... So I'm due for new one's ...
Apparently wagon one's are shorter? so might be an idea to get them :P

I got King SL in the rear of my wagon and the shocks hold the springs in fine. The shocks are only gabreil gas rider junk. But pretty much if you change spring to anything the shocks will die soon after as you are changing the position they have been running at for years.
