P1000 Pre load tool for fox shocks?

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

You won't know your pre load height until the machine is on the ground, even tire pressure, loaded, measured, then adjusted.
JMO.

Pro Tip : When changing springs, after reassembling the shock; set your preload height before releasing the pressure on the spring.

Sure, if you have the right tools for the job. Easier said than done if using the ratchet strap method! 🤣

Seriously ??

You don’t know how to release a ratchet strap under pressure slowly ? One or two clicks at a time.

Rough-in measurement, ya gotta start somewhere.

Following @Scoop's measurements my front is at 38mm and rear is at 27mm.

I want to be part of the bucket club so bad.

Yes, seriously. It's kinda tough to rotate the spring and collar when you have straps on it.

Release the strap slowly? LOL. Apparently, you have not seen how I do that.

Get to crankin'!

Seriously, I have a lot of preload. We shall see if it's too much soon ... I don't think so, but ...

I just use a ratchet strap to take pressure off the spring on the machine and adjust

I was really torn yesterday after my C-Fab arm install to add more pre-load. I currently have 1.5“ of sag parked. I really liked the way it felt driving around the parking lot. I haven't tried it yet but my confidence says I could straddle a bucket.
