Default Adjust my shocks

My shocks are adjustable. Right now when i hit big bumps or holes it feels like im riding on 2 by 4s, i have no shock at all it feels like. Are they blown or can i make them softer so it doesnt ride like a fucking car from the flinstones?

Blue's aren't adjustable from what I remember. The Illumina's are adjustable ones.

That's what they are called... Illuminas!!! Right!!!:thumbup: I couldn't remember...

Yep, blues are not adjustable.

Anyway, back to your problem...

If the shocks were blown, whenever you hit a bump, it would be all springs - meaning your car would bounce like a muther f**k becasue the shocks cant absorb and cushion the bump. If its jaw breaking when you hit bumps, then either your springs are too damn stiff or you are too damn slammed.
