Gen 3 ome shock and spring install

[1morebike]

I finally going to just except I don't have time or the place to put my new shocks and springs in so I'm going to pay my mechanic to do it. It's the stock height one so I'm wondering if there is anything they need to look out for. I just don't want them to get done and set it down and realize it need something weird.

Where do you live? There might be forum members willing to help. It's a pretty easy install.

Here's a quick write up from when I did mine. The biggest thing is having a jack tall enough to lift your wheels off the ground at full droop. Not that big of a job.

I just realized they sent me the hd package I don't have bumper and don't carry a lot of weight but am thinking of getting a small cping trailer. Am I going to hate the ride?

Man I wish I got the HD ones, I have the med and they do the work good, but in my last camping trip it was sagging, but I had a ridiculous weight on the truck and 5 passengers.. no weight vs weight. Hope this helps

Yeah that's kind of my thoughts I guess better to have them then not. Just the other day I filled the back with buckets of river rock and it was sitting loooow

I'll report back after a few weeks

Shocks and springs are in...man this thing is tall. Took it in for an alignment and they said the camber bolts were seized in and they did there best. Said it's pretty decent but the steering wheel is off and they can't get it straight...that's going to drive me nuts.

Dealer sells camber bolts, washers, nuts. Really common. Might need a hot wrench to get them out. I had to do 4 of them.

 

[offthepath]

Why would they not be able to get the wheel straight? That has noting to do with camber........

After a 1000 miles it would be worth re-aligning it. The suspension will settle some.

 

[1morebike]

Yeah I'm not to sure about the alignment place

I have Imnosaint's Gen3 now and the HD springs ride great! I mean, I'm used to a Gen 2.5 on KYBs with OME HD springs but in comparison this thing is like driving on a cloud of tits.
