Product Description
SMOOTH SHOCK: Smooth body double adjustable shocks are a good choice when you do
not want or need the ability to alter your stance. They are available for the front and/or rear
of many applications. These shocks offer bolt-in performance, and come complete with all mounting hardware.
TUNING AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS Vehicles used on the street, drag cars, and road racers will all have different needs in terms of shock valving. However, it does not stop there. Driver style / capability, road / track conditions, vehicle type (car vs. pickup, etc.), vehicle weight, horsepower, tires, etc. all create different needs in terms of shock valving. That is the beauty of a double adjustable shock.
Your Viking shocks have a total of 19 positions (18 clicks plus a zero position) of adjustment per knob, for a total of 361 different valvings. Compression and rebound are independently controlled on the Viking shocks. The “C” knob adjusts compression, while the “R” knob adjusts rebound.
