Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adjust the ride quality after installation?

Yes — rebound damping is fully adjustable, and the hose-mounted preload system lets you dial in spring rate without removing the shock.

Will this fit my 2017 or older Softail?

No — this shock is engineered specifically for the 2018-2024 Softail STX chassis and will not fit earlier models.

Do I get a preload adjustment tool?

Yes — a preload tool is included so you can adjust spring preload for weight and load changes without tools or dealer service.

How does this compare to the stock shock?

The STX 46 uses a larger piston, precision internals, and tunable damping for superior handling and comfort over the factory suspension.

Will I need a service manual for installation?

Professional installation is recommended. The shock bolts to the OEM mounting points, but proper setup and damping tuning benefit from suspension expertise.
