:: 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 120mm 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.
