I finally got them on and the rear sits with the top spring fully compressed with just the weight of the quad on it. This had it sitting really low so I adjusted the spanner nut to bring the ride height up to normal (i set it at 8.5 front and rear after some reading) and ended up with a dual rate shock that doesn't even use the top spring. To get the ride height, the nut is so far down that the big spring is doing most all the work and the little one is just a spacer until just before the suspension is fully extended.
The history of these shocks was not known but the fronts adjusted just fine and they feel great. In fact the rear feels great too, it just seems odd that the little spring would be so soft. I can see being set up for a really light rider and compressing easily with me on it, but with no weight on it? I just think it should at least be able to hold up the quad.
Maybe thats exactly what that spring is supposed to do, i don't know. So thats why I'm asking

I'm not even really concerned about it. It works fine for me the way it is. I just want to know if that spring should be a little stiffer so I can think about making it even better sometime down the road
