Shock vs spring education

All. I didn't find the answer to my question when I searched

I think I know the answer but need confirmation...

It is your springs that determine how much your rear will sag when loaded with gear and not the shocks right?

For example. I just installed the adjustable MX6 shocks on the rear. I have the tsb springs. When I go wheelin and camping this weekend and load it up with gear, the rear will sag regardless if I have the shocks set at 1 or 6 right? The setting will only control the spring rate and not make the rear ride any higher?

Am I totally off on this?

Thanks for the help. By the way the ride is amazing with these!

 

You are correct.

Rear shocks DO NOTHING to support weight. Your MX6 shocks only adjust for dampening ....

 

Thanks for the quick replies!

 

Just thought you shoulda got the real scoop before the next question was

"Whats better ? a suspension lift or are spacers better ?"....... j/k

The answers Janster & Whip gave you are correct....

 

^^^^^

Come on give me more credit than that!

Didnt have to search for that. Fond out the hard way. Now have full 3" suspension lift and TSB rear. Leas than .5" lower only in rear


Thanks for the confirmation!

 

Niiice !!
