Big Bore shock setup.

[Spils77]

Hi All,

Appologies if this is a silly question but i am trying to find out what people are using for internal limiters in the big bore shocks. I am trying out various setups on the Laydown and most setup sheets state the use of internal limiters. Do Schumacher supply a kit for various size limiters to fit the shocks or do you have to use something else?

m3 washers or spacers, orings can cause extra stiction, if you look in the manuals they use a washer

Thanks for the reply's


So I guess i can use the spacer washers which go under the ball joints part no U3131 as they are sized from 0.5, 1.0 & 2mm.

And I presume you just slide the washers onto the shock shaft and they sit inside the shock body?

That’s exactly it.

Cheers for your help guys.

Just wanted to make sure I was using the right parts as I dont want to scoure/damage the shock shaft.
Your help is very much appriciated

Mainly on the laydown the internal limiters are used for the front shocks. limiting them gives more on power steering as it stops the front lifting as much on power.
