Default Added Progressive 422 shocks today

Pretty easy install, took about 90 minutes. I didn't slam it the whole 2 inches, maybe an inch and a half.I still need toadjust the preload to my tastes....it's a bit bouncy on the lowest preload setting, and I weigh about 250.The instructions aren't real clear about adjusting preload (in the wording) so I'll work on it more tomorrow.

Looks good. After I got the preload adjusted on my progressives the ride is fantastic compared to stock. I was very pleased with the purchase.
