Jeff;

Gas shocks do extend when relaxed (and with significant force, hence the compression straps to assist installation), and so do raise the suspension a bit, but yours does sound abnormally high...Eric's idea about suspension being preloaded if bolts are tightened without weight on wheels sounds plausible, but I don't think I've ever needed to do that...

Eric; Does that mean I'll chew up the bushings faster, because they are stressed at rest?

I will follow this thread with interest!

Good Hunting!
