That's absolutely what we'd go for. No point adjusting the front as the load doesn't really change very much on the front axle to warrant it.

I am in two minds tbf, do i go with non adjust rear and helper air springs inside my springs or go for adjustable dampers...

My rear end does squat a lot with the boat / ifor loaded up...

both air helpers and the adjustable shocks... the dampers wont stop the squat with the increased load, just stop it wallowing.

that will work perfectly.

I’d like to think it would be a slow gentle rise rather than a sharp one or I won’t be rating them as comfortable Hank Rolling with laughter 2015 HT XS 90

Is there no 'boot' to protect the shaft?
I know it won't look as nice, but you'd think it would keep a lot of crud off the seals.

There's none on motorbike forks, mountain bike forks, the shocks on either, or any of the high performance shocks you see in normal use on race vehicles, granted the latters serviced every run but the technology in sealings pretty good now.

Ours haven't leaked yet.

..............of course, they now will!!! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
