Yes, it has shock adjustment and heims joints to move it around. I have my shock set 3 from all the way soft. I started the year with it all the way hard making it like a hardtail then changed it after a few passes to feel the difference :)

the shock have the same type of adjustment as rear shocks would with the knob or how do you adjust it?

Yes same type of adjusment, think it has 12 clicks on it, mine is 3 from all the way soft. You will know which way soft is by just lifting the car up.

thanks for the pictures i put another forum on bracketnews.com and the first post was by a guy telling me to contact you haha so i guess i got the right guy to talk to obviously...what kind of 60ft did you have before the front suspension and after? what size motor do you run?

I changed everything up so I cant give you a good front vs non front.
I rear suspended my car when doing so, changed converters and tires, added 100lbs to the car. 60's doing this went from 1.04 to 1.10, 4.67-8@147 to 4.79-80@145. This would all be shocks and driveshaft doing this.
Its a 582 makes just under 1000hp, loose converter 6700 stall spragless, and weighs 1960 with me in it.
