Michael Jackson Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 the shocks will come valved and sprung for your weight and riding style (trails, mx ect) u tell them that when u order them.. they are very easy to install, 1 bolt on top, 1 bolt on bottom..as far as the leagers a arms go, im not sure if you have to reem your spindles, but for the prices they charge, i would sure hope not, the arms should come complete with new bushings installed in them usually, as far as seeting ride height i have no idea, but im sure it comes with instructions and if you passed 8th grade, u should be able to do it, getting your shit all lined up how u want it will take a little bit, small adjustments, ride around,see how u like it, maybe adjust more, its not hard by any means though, just takes a little patience when you are messing with the tierods and stuff, suspension work isnt rocket science though you will have no problem with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your opinion on the Burgard long travel kit? Well made? Tough? Easy to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
