Adjusting for load and terrain
Adjustable reservoir shocks let you tune damping for the load you carry and the terrain you drive. Heavier loads and larger tires usually call for firmer compression control, while light trail use often works with a softer setting. Make changes gradually, because a large jump can make the ride harsh or cause the body to pitch under braking.
Length and stroke matter as much as damping. A shock that is too long can bind at full droop, while one that is too short bottoms out on rough ground. Inspect the reservoir hose for chafing, look for oil film on the body, and replace worn bushings during the same service. When one shock is replaced, check the opposite side, since a mismatched pair can pull the vehicle to one side.
