SE/SL Suspension differences

What are the differences between the SE and SL suspension?

Sway/shock/spring?

Is it possible to soften up the SE ride by replacing the SE shocks with SL shocks?

I read somewhere that only the shocks are different, but thats why i posted this thread -- to get down the facts -- or close to them :-P

If the above asumption is true, then yes. You should be able to soften up the ride with the SL shocks.

I have an SL because I really liked the soft ride. Very comfy.

So with the front and rear adjustables, do you really think we can get it to be softer than stock SL ?

If you don't know who can we ask?

EXACTLY.
these guys are modifying the rear to fit our Max, and rebuilding our fronts for a great price. that's why u have to pay core, or ship your fronts. Considering the suspension gains and work done, very worth it.


(I just ordered their grounding kit for $40. I tired to get everything off eBay for that, was close, but I'd have to do the work, measuring, cuting, crumping, & heating.)

They are also probably the best company I have ever dealt with. My shocks are getting done right now as we speak.

According to the brochure the SE has "firmer front springs, revised front strut and rear shock tuning"
