OK, that makes sense. Is it fairly obvious how the cover comes off once the springs are compressed?

 

Once the spring is compressed, the horse collar slips right off.
You may need to slip down or align the opening of the nylon bushing to remove the collar. It comes off pretty easy.

 

Thanks! Hopefully won't need to do it but always good to have just in case info prior to needing it!

 

im looking to sell my 11 inch 440s

 

Mounted mine yesterday. Used the spacers specified in the instructions, plenty of room without removing covers. These are 12", just a bit longer than stock:

 

Would you mind wreckwriter just letting us know how you like your new shocks when you get riding again.

 

Be happy to. Afraid its not going to be real soon though....

 

Yes I see you've been hit hard. For a change our weathers nicer in Canada
