    Here it is. Could be as simple as a clip liner missing (available from Dobinsons), or something else loose.

    Could use some foam on top for shipping. But that’s just cosmetic.

    edit: not trying to take away from that sucking, because it does suck when something new is dinged up.

    just an fyi for this thread.
    with the ome 886 springs I set the seat height to 8".
    that gave my uca spc a perfect level position and my cv shaft perfect leval position
    of course it sacrificed lift but that is another topic.

    Just a question I'm sure its hear but could not find it.
    for every turn of the adjuster, how much lift increased of decreased.
    so if I turn the adjuster up 1 full turn how much more lift dose that equal?
    thank you. I thing I heard somewhere or read that its 1/16th of an inch just want to confirm.

    I've never measured it and it's not something I'd use. I would just add height, and it's a 1:2 ratio, so 1/4" added gives 1/2" of lift

    Just an FYI for any Canadians ordering IMS shocks.
    Nothing bad just what to expect in dollars.
    Around 1100 Canadian dollars to your door.

    Just to update this a bit. Went out for the first time with the Dobinsons this past weekend. Ran some trails and the shocks worked great. very happy with them and would recommend these to anyone. :thumbsup:
