1. Check the manual. The tools are what most would consider basic.

2. Check that it can be adjusted. If it can be, you will need to buy new springs. They will come with shorter top-out springs and longer primary springs.

well after talking with some buddys and going to several lbs, ive decided not to go to 5 in. of travel, because the overlapping of the lowers and the stancion, is lessen and makes it more prown to breaking or bending, and also creats more flex. so ya i hate flex and i dont mind 4 inches of travel, ill just learn to be more smooth! but another question, are they not making dj3 anymore because they created dirt jams, and because of the clicking of the spring? well happy riding!!
