STINKYDELUXE Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 for a +6 can you just replace the spring? what does revalveing do? what happens if you don't revalve it? how hard is it to swap the spring, need any special tools? sorry for all the questions I'm only going to be home for 12 days and I don't want any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddleboy Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 should just bolt right up the same. the extra leverage might make it a little softer but unless your jumping it shouldnt matter too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Revalving changes the way the shock reacts. You will see and improvement in traction and ride control. A new spring is important in keeping everything working together properly. Think of the valving as the brain and the spring as the muscle. If you run without the correct spring rate likely you'll wear the shock out sooner and possibly render it un-rebuildable. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane I ran a stock shock on a +6 w/no problems... duned it and drag raced it, just no big air. Any longer than 6 and all bets are off.

STINKYDELUXE Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 i blew my stock shock in about 4 days so i bought another stocker and was hopeing i could just change the spring to get by and buy a works shock later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronco91shee Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 i would take the add on 2" out of it, like fred was saying. that thing sits so soft right now. adn we tried it with the r6 shock. it was better but still super low. what bout just running the stock swinger till you can get a works that is set up for you and the +6? just a thought..... :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
