Unfortunately I broke the dampening adjuster on one of my rear shocks and even worse it happened to break on the softest setting or close to it. So I'm gonna be dealing with that, either putting my stock suspension back on or who knows what.

I have to decide what I want to do with the mtn run, I either have to ride on stock shocks in the rear, replace my front and rear suspension back to stock, or ride my aftermarket shocks in the rear one at soft and one at firm. I can't decide what is the safest.

Is there anything else you can use to adjust? I lost your number, so call or text when you have a min.

I would go both stock in the rear or if the adjustment stays at soft matching the other one would work fine. DO NOT have diff settings side to side.

Absolutely man, I don't have anything to do any day all day since I'm not working right now. I'm definitely gonna take care of mine so I will be good for the weekend what do you have to do shocks and springs? The only thing I don't have is the spring compressors because I have coils and I didn't have to take apart the old one, but you can rent those from Autozone for free, just a $50 deposit. Let me know when you wanna come down we can do it, only thing is I don't have a pnuematic air wrench, it isn't necessary but to be honest it was for mine in the front because I could just NOT get one of the bolts out in front. I would hate to get stuck in the middle of that. Maybe you have more tools than I do? Just let me know whenever you wanna do it I'm willing to help out

Sorry man I went out to dinner with my family after my test and spent the night with them, I'll call you tomorrow to get some details and stuff. No the shock can't be adjusted since the rod that goes down into it snapped

Well this is my question, I didn't think that it was okay to have diff settings side to side. But right now the front coilovers are all set but I am already running the stock shocks in the rear, one of your suggestions. But I am worried if that would be alright to leave it like that or should I just change out the rear springs back to stock and the front coils back to stock so that I am definitely fine? I don't want to leave the coils in front and stock shocks in the back and lose control or something... Any insight will help me out a lot I have to decide what to do tomorrow it is either
1. Leave the coils up front as is, leave the stock shocks in the rear with the lowering springs
2. Change out the front suspension back to stock along with the rear springs back to stock, I am not concerned about time spent doing this, I would rather be safe then sorry.

Whatcha think?

Is the rear a spring/shock setup or a true coil? Could you run the stock shock with the coil in front?

Running stock rear damping and softening the front should be ok, just do not run full hard out front and stock damping in the rear..

Yeah it isn't a true coilover in the rear, my only regret, that's how I have it set up now, with the stock shocks. The front is set to like 15/16 I believe, how much do you think I would need to lower it to match the rear?

Trust me if I would be safer just swapping out the suspension completely just tell me, I got the time, does make sense to just loosen up the front to match though..
