'00-'02 SRX Long Travel Kit - Installation Instructions

1 Install the shocks into the suspension as they were removed.
WARNING: Make sure nitrogen valves face down (toward the suspension arms), if not track or shock damage will occur.
2 Set the stock limiter straps as suggested on the second page of the instructions.
3 Install the supplied spacers on the end of the control rods by removing the bolt from the end of each, put the spacer on the bolt (leaving the washer on), put a drop of red loctite (271) on each bolt and tighten, make sure the spacer lines up with the control rod when tightening.

Limiter Strap Setting

Standard limiter setting: 28 millimeters (1 1/8”)  

By increasing the standard measurement (shortening the limiter) ski pressure will be increased.  
By reducing the standard measurement (lengthening the limiter) ski pressure will be decreased.  
By shortening the limiter straps center shock travel will be reduced. If you want to improve handling it is recommended to first try reducing the center shock spring pre-load.  

Spring Settings

Standard rear spring setting:  342.5 millimeters (13 1/2”)  
The rear shock spring is a 2.5-4.5 kilogram per millimeter rising rate spring. By shortening the springs installed length 3 millimeters (1/8”) the springs total force will be increased by 13.5 kilograms or 30 pounds. Lengthening the installed length will reduce the springs force by the same amount. Shorten or lengthen installed length as desired.
Standard center shock spring setting: 250.5 millimeters (9 7/8”) (spring length is at shock free length, limiter strap setting will affect installed length).
The center shock spring is a 3.6 kilogram per millimeter straight rate spring, by increasing pre-load ski pressure will be reduced, decreasing pre-load ski pressure will be increased. Check installed length before making any adjustments. 3 millimeter (1/8”) pre-load adjustment will change the spring force 11.7 kilograms (23 pounds).
