The adjustment mechanism is a knob at the base of the shock. Full counterclockwise is the softest position. The knob turns about 3 full turns to reach full stiffness. I'm going to start at full soft first and start dialing the firmness to reach the optimum ride. With the 5" drop springs and being a longbed, I'm guessing that I'll have a bit of firmness dailed in in order to get it to ride the way I want it. I'll soon find out!
Thanks resto guy, I would be very interested to hear about how they function, and your likes dislikes. Cheers!
