Some residual shock fluid may appear from your first few runs around the shock cap as a result of bleeding. For less rebound, compress shock shaft farther before tightening the shock cap. For more rebound, do not compress shock shaft as far before tightening the shock cap.

:: Droop Settings Set droop by measuring overall length of shock (from standoff to shock pin) while the chassis is elevated above your working surface. The shocks should be fully extended. Kit setup for front droop is 104mm shock length, and 124mm shock length for the rear. If the shock length is too long, adjust by turning the droop screws clockwise. If the shock length is too short, adjust by turning the droop screws counter-clockwise.
