    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

    IMG_0116.jpg if you click on picture it will right itself

  2. Thanks Derald Rice thanked for this post

    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.
