I have my dual rate it here and my springs but what are these used for???? where do I put them? thanks

they look like the adjusters to go on top of the spring threaded onto the shock body?

The top coupler to mount the spring is treaded and has a set screw already......I looked at any pics I could find and couldn't see these in any of them.....

these are safety rings.

once you adjusted the shocks to the required position with the main screw ring, you put the safety ring which makes sure that the adjusted position does'nt change.

you must screw these rings also and tighten them hard, otherwise the adjusting screw rings will get loose and cause trouble.

They are the "bumpstops" to protect the upper spring or change how much the upper spring compresses. The upper spring is usually softer than the bottom so will compress before the bottom one does. Those two adjusters go against each other to lock into posistion on the shock body, the spring isolator which joins the bottom of the upper spring and top of the lower hits those two rings. You can also use it to play with how the vehicle acts on turns and stuff....put them 1" or so above the ride height of the isolator and you will mainly use the lower spring on turns and stuff...options are infinite.

From what I gather...
When the upper spring bottoms and coil binds you loose the stacked spring rate (upper + lower divided by 2) and switch to the firmer bottom spring rate at it's stand-alone rate, and those stops alow you to determine when that happens. I got this from the SAW website.
This gives you a soft ride that gets firm as it compresses.

Bingo!

yeah they are for the purpose CJ and Dirtrod said, but the (upper + lower) / 2 formula is wrong. The correct formula is 1/((1/upper)+(1/lower)). Or use the SAW web page I think they have a calculator for you.

Phhh who was that moron who told me there would be useful tech on this site? :rolleyes:

This thread needs to be sticky'ed for all the non payers out there this is the kind of stuff you cant get anywhere else in the world for the price we pay to be here.

WORTH EVERY PENNY IN MY BOOK!

I stand corrected...fuggin math anyway...
thanks Gordon
