This 'Bling Ring' replaces the two stock preload/lock rings. The ring is CNC machined aluminum with the additional thickness to provide superior support on the shock body.
The added needle bearing thrust washer will make preload adjustments much easier. The ring then spins much easier against the spring making adjustments quite a bit easier.
This part can easily be added to the Cogent or Race Tech Shock Shaft Assemblies, even after they are built.
To install the Bling Ring on a shock with a stock shaft it must either be disassembled or have the lower clevis removed.
