6. ADJUST BUMP SHOCK POSITION

The ideal bump shock position is determined by the vehicle

suspension and varies for each application.



To properly set the bump shock position for your

vehicle, you must first decide the point at which

suspension compression should be limited. Take

into consideration coil springs, shock absorbers,

tire clearance, or any other factors that cause the

vehicle to bottom out.

IMPORTANT: Because it replaces the original rubber

bump stop, the bump shock should determine the limit

of compression travel. The bump shock should be

fully compressed when the suspension reaches maxi-

mum desired compression.



With the vehicle on level ground and the suspen-

sion at full droop, extend the Bump Shock Assem-

bly (A) to the desired position.

IMPORTANT: Internal threads of Jounce Adapter must

remain fully engaged with Bump Shock Assembly at

all times. Never operate vehicle when more than 3.25”

of bump shock threads are exposed as illustrated

above.



Once the Bump Shock Assembly (A) is properly

adjusted for your application, lock in place by turn-

ing the Bump Shock Nut (B) clockwise until it con-

tacts the Jounce Adapter (C) and tighten.

HINT:

A spanner or strap wrench is useful for tightening

Jounce Adapter Nut.

IMPORTANT: The suspension must be fully cycled to

test for bump shock alignment and interference issues

before the vehicle can be safely operated. The bump

shock must contact the center portion of the lower

spring pad at full compression, and there should be no

interference between the bump shock and coil spring

at full extension.
