front end adj. Koni springs 250 vs 400
Just realized My Koni shock springs are two different part#s. : 33976 400#
33975 250#
Which # is for the front, (of course I had one of each on the front)
I have same wheels/tires as blue FFC truck - front fenders sitIMG_0116.jpg too close (low) to tires to turn wheel; I think if I compress (adjust)shock springs ½ inch tighter I will gain the inch of clearance needed - does this sound correct?
I would like to get this right on first attempt if possible - removing the shocks ain't fun at this point

The 400lb is for the front for the extra weight of the engine.
I installed mine almost half way on the adjustment but when it was all said and done I tightened them some more to gain a little more ground clearance. My frame is about 4 3/4 off the ground .

Thanks, good straight forward fix, just what I was hoping to hear
I'm, also (was) at 4 ¾, but need bit more., and thanks for the spring info, that was my guess after I discovered my dumb oversight
glad you confirmed, Im dying to get it out of the parking lot for a real ride.
I have the same TKO, would like to compare notes on a couple of things, will send a PM

When I installed my fenders, the front wheels were not centered in the wheel well. I had to move my front fenders and running board from
the measurement listed in the manual.
