סעטאַפּ און ינסטאַלירונג

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your ShockWave units. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified automotive technician.

פאַר-ינסטאַלירונג טשעקס:

  • Verify that the ShockWave units are compatible with your vehicle's specific application. Recommended for solid rear axles with a rear axle weight less than 1,500 lbs. Not recommended for IFS installations due to insufficient load capacity.
  • Inspect all components for any signs of shipping damage.
  • Ensure you have all necessary tools and safety equipment.

  2. Remove existing suspension components as required.
  3. Mount the ShockWave units securely using appropriate hardware. Ensure proper alignment and clearance.
  4. Connect air lines to the air spring portion of the ShockWave. Use high-quality fittings and ensure all connections are leak-free.
  5. Route air lines away from hot or moving parts.
  6. Inflate the air springs to a preliminary pressure (e.g., 50-70 psi) to check for leaks and proper function.
  7. Lower the vehicle and adjust air pressure to achieve desired ride height and comfort.
  8. Perform a final check of all fasteners and connections.

The 4-inch diameter 7000 series supports 780 lbs at 100 psi, while the 5-inch diameter 8000 series supports 1200 lbs at 100 psi. Stroke lengths and corresponding measurements are also detailed.

אַפּערייטינג ינסטראַקשאַנז

לופט דרוק אַדזשאַסטמאַנט:

The air pressure in your ShockWave units directly affects ride height and spring rate. Adjust pressure using an air compressor and a precise gauge. Always adjust both sides of the vehicle equally to maintain balance.

  • For Ride Height: Increase pressure to raise the vehicle, decrease pressure to lower it.
  • For Ride Firmness: Higher pressure generally results in a firmer ride; lower pressure results in a softer ride. Do not exceed maximum recommended pressure (100 psi for 7000 series).

Shock Valving Adjustment:

The HQ Series features single adjustable shock valving with 24 rebound clicks. This allows you to fine-tune the damping characteristics of your shocks.

  1. Locate the adjustment knob on the shock body.
  2. Turn the knob clockwise for a firmer rebound (more damping), and counter-clockwise for a softer rebound (less dampינג).
  3. Start with a mid-range setting (e.g., 12 clicks from full soft) and adjust incrementally to achieve your desired ride feel.
  4. Test drive the vehicle after adjustments to evaluate changes.
