[QUOTE="DieselD, post: 268421, member: 7575"] Nice to know they actually gave a response, most of the old threads I was digging up mentioned fox nor ford ever claimed the shocks to be adjustable or designed/tested in any other setting except for stock Did they change the valving to reflect the lower setting after it got changed in preproduction? The shock may have been tested in the middle setting but what about the valving? did it stay the same or did it get changed to work with the lower setting? I drove it more this weekend and even though its slight I can feel it has definitely changed. Slow speed down a dirt wash board road is noticeably harsher then stock. Corners on uneven asphalt at slow/normal road speed I feel the rear kinda wiggle (for a lack of better term). Its hard to explain but it feels less stable and predictable to me. As of now Im leaning towards going back to stock. I definitely didnt get the warm and fuzzy feeling after adjusting them and doing my first roadtests. Other then the look of the front being higher I feel the stock position drives better and more predictable I should probably mention this is on a scab which might be more sensitive to adjustment vs the screw with the longer wheelbase [/QUOTE]
