Am I bottoming out my suspension?

[Escmanaze]

Hey guys,
Please see the attached pics. The little hoops look like the paint is wearing off of them because they are moving upward right into the clips on the track? Does that sound right? If so, should I put more preload on this spring on the front? If I do that, is that going to make me trench more in the powder? Is there some kind of suspension setup guide that Cat has?

Thanks

Scott

The first pic is of the little hoops that are getting the paint rubbed off and also just getting the metal worn down as well. The second pic is of the front shock and how far it is currently adjusted. I'm 200-215 pounds all geared up.

ive seen a lot of arms like that.. not a big deal. Run the front arm shock as loose as possible without the spring rattling.

Do the Geo/Elvis1280 Mod

that will help some.

You can drop your front mount bolts to the lower hole. I di this to my 10' M8 along with the geo mod and I can now run less spring pressure and actually trench less than I did before and lightened the steering up! You do need anti stab wheels if you do this.
