I'm installing a pair of 2890's on the front of my DSDP 3815 IFS.. To get the medium setting, the way I read it, it takes 2 1/2 half turns from the stop counter clockwise position.. Does anyone know if this is correct??

Thanks,
Knot-Flyn'

Just had Koni's installed on the front of my Essex at Henderson's Line Up in Grants Pass. The tech found that they had a total of 2 full turns, soft to hard so he put them at 1.25 turn ( a little harder than middle.)

So far it seems the right setting. Any softer and will get a nicer ride, but over bumps it may bottom out. Any harder and I think it will take the bumps too hard.

But most of all, a great improvement over the original Bilsteins. Coach has 45,000 miles on it.

Hi Knot-Flyn',
I just had Koni's installed on my coach. It has IFS for the front axle. I read the instructions, for my shocks, the same as RUFINIT mentioned in his post.
