Guys, I just sent my '02 viper shocks to Pioneer for revalving. As long as I have the shock springs out - how do I tell if the springs are still good or if they are sagged out? Sled only has 2000 miles or so, but it's only a year new to me, so I don't know if the previous owner stored with weight off the front suspension or not (doubt it). Is there a measurement that I should be checking against when they are unloaded? I have no clue on springs.
 

Get a board and a jack ! Jack it up until the shocks are fully extended yet ur ski should still be touching measure length grab bar to floor ! Let her down measure again ! Take those measurements subtract how much did it drop is ur sag
