Default where do these Ricors Go??

I'm doing a Progressive 1" drop in front with Ricors. Looking at the kit theres 2 springs, one short one long one.

Where does the ricor fit in?

After you pull your springs out the Ricors's drop in the tubes and then the springs go back in over them.

No problem. Hope you like the new feel of your front suspension.

Any pics of the springs? Some of the progressive kits include a damper spring and main spring. The damper spring goes on the underside of the damper rod, with the larger main spring on the top. The Ricor does go under the main spring.

If this is the kit you have, then the small springs are the damper springs.



If you have the drop in kit, then both springs go above the damper rod.

I am ordeing the kit Mon. but the pic on Progressive's site ust shows the two shorts and 2 longer ones. Might not be the exact pic. its for a '99 FB front end.

From all the posts it seems they will be a big improvement over the soft stock springs I got now. Having the Shotgun Shock out back really emphasizes the need to improve the front.
