- 10 position adjustable compression adjustment
The pinnacle of suspension performance is being shifted to a new apex with our new inverted front struts, co-developed with Falcon.Β Using proven damper technology from Falcon, along with our expertise in chassis tuning, the result is a truly phenomenal increase in damping performance, which translates to more stable and predictable handling, greater control across all conditions, and the ability to actually use the suspension to its full potential on and off road. Further, the struts ideal location near the wheel makes the 3.3 Fast Adjust compression adjustment even more effective.
Inverted dampers flip the idea of the conventional strut upside down, and use the damper body as the upper strut shaft, with the load bearing unit contained in a massive lower housing that connects to the steering knuckle. This is the same application of technologies you will find on Dakar and World Rally Championship cars, which see some of the harshest driving conditions imaginable.
Our proprietary 'Rate Cup' retains the OEM strut bushing for easy installation and retention of OEM NVH characteristics by preloading the bushing for tighter road feel. This dispersing the damping forces over the entire surface area of the bushing to prevent annoying clunks and premature bushing wear common with competing solutions.
TUNED 3.3 FAST ADJUST SHOCKS, KEY BENEFITS
- 10 compression damping settings with the 3.3 fast adjust knob
- Internal SP2 free bleed adjustment allows for 2 distinct tune profiles
- Increase in comfort and vehicle control
- Enhanced cornering stability
- Reduced sway and wind buffeting
- Controls large and small bumps more effectively than factory shocks
- 2.3" aluminum body dissipates heat and resists corrosion.
- Full 2" Damper piston (238% increase over stock)
- 3/4" diameter hard chromed shaft resists impact and corrosion.
- High pressure nitrogen charge ensures cavitation free operation
Tuned shock absorbers are one of the best bang for the buck upgrades for any vehicle. Proper damping can make or break the ride comfort and vehicle control, and low quality factory units are quickly overwhelmed. Falcon's shocks represent a pinnacle of intelligent deign. Built to our specifications and tune, we've applied everything we've learned over the years of tuning custom and modified vehicles to bring increased levels of comfort, compliance, and control to adventure vans and RV's. With a superior damper, we're able to effectively reduce sway from wind and obstacles, while simultaneously controlling large and small bumps more effectively.
The red 3.3 fast adjust knob combines industry leading adjustment range with intuitive and easy compression adjustment while the shock is installed. Position 1 is the lightest setting, great for blasting down washboard roads or rough city streets. Position 2 is a mid setting with 8 micro adjustments, a great way to dial in the ride and handling setting for daily driver preference. Position 3 is the firmest setting, used for occasional heavy loads or when driving conditions require the most control. The SP2 mode adjust feature is an internal bypass port (free bleed circuit) set during installation. Closing off this port drastically changes the shock rebound and compression characteristics and essentially allows us to put 2 tune profiles into one shock. This setting is chosen when installing the shocks based on vehicle weight and ride preference. The shocks are manufactured as left and right pairs. The 3.3 fast adjust knob is placed in a spot that is easy to see and adjust.
