well....it really doesnt make that big of a difference....im assuming you have the standard springs rates like 10/8 or something like that. but i think it should be fine cuz people get stiffer springs and they are fine sooo go for it! or u can call the company and ask them just to make sure.

I think the man is asking about his dampening, not springs.


You can set the dampening to the max, but the life of the coils will decrease.

I usually will go all the way and then 1 or 2 click back, just to be safe

umm he is referring to the damage done to the shocks...my point was that people ride on springs that are stiffer than what he probably has so him turning those dampenings all the way to the stiffest isnt going to make it stiffer than lets say 8/6 preloaded springs for example, therefor it shouldnt be that big of a deal..........

I ride on mine to almost the max stiffness as well. Don't want to rub more than I already do!

Then replace the springs with 6k and 8k springs
