Extended Top Hat Install Instructions Function & Form Suspension

This guide covers proper installation order, preload setup, and key considerations to ensure correct suspension geometry and reliable performance after installation. Extended top hats play a critical role in restoring usable shock travel on lowered vehicles, helping the damper operate within its optimal range while maintaining proper preload. This reduces bottoming out, improves ride quality, and extends the life of suspension components—especially on vehicles running shorter springs or aggressive ride heights.

This video is intended as a visual supplement to the official installation instructions. Always refer to the provided documentation for torque specs, preload settings, and vehicle-specific details.
