[F7 Freak]

was looking at the Lucs sled in the photo gallery and noticed his front shocks are facing the opposite way as mine?? How about any of you out there which way are yours facing? Mine have the the rods on the bottom half.. does it make a difference???

I have an F7 std and they were mounted the same way as yours. I noticed the spring would contact the spindle in the full jounce position no matter which way I clocked it. My friends F7 standard team graphics where mount the other way, with the shock rod up so I switched mine around and I don't have a problem with the coil hitting anything and they work just the same. I read it is better to mount them with the shock rod down so there is less unsprung mass, but that doesn't really matter for trail riding.

can anyone else help me out? I would just like to see how many are different, and if it might have been a boo boo by the dealers
