Does the front suspension really work? Or is it just for show.?

Yes, the suspension really works. I bought this bike for my grandson and he really enjoys racing around the neighborhood with his friends.

Yes, it really works, but unless the rider is over 100 lbs., you really need to put the bike through it's paces over rugged terrain before the shocks begin to articulate. Basically, the shocks provide an abundance of damping for a young rider

My son, age 8 says "it works on the hills (we're in CO), the trails and doesn't hurt when I go off the sidewalk". We love these bikes. We bought two.

The front suspension really is functional, not just for show. It doesn't do much for street riding, but is more forgiving when they go over curbs or off road.

I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question. I bought that bike as a gift for my grandson who lives in another state, and all I know is that he got it and he loves it!!

The front shocks are different from the rear. The front will work on either side. The rears are left and right.

Yes, they did lift it just a bit. I think it was mostly because my springs had sagged a bit and these compensated for that. In fact, it seems like that was one of the advertised benefits of these shocks. I put them on both the front and the rear; which made my Bronco handle better. The only down side was that the truck rode rougher.

i don't know about it lifting the rear but mine dropped by 2 to 3 inches. But i'm happy with the ride , just a slight difference from the old air suspension system.

the rear will sit high for a while and then it will settle down a little lower. it will never get as low as it was with air suspension. this is a plus because you will never bottom out and never have a problem again. very satisfied with the product. it will outlive the car itself

Greetings,These were installed on the rear suspension. They may work on some fronts, but I am not aware of the application in this case.KYB does a a good, if a bit confusing, part application function on their website which lists available parts, install locations, and mounts.Happy trails,Keith

It comes with a few different spacers that expand to squeeze/secure the fender into the empty space under the crown/steerer on most shocks, so chances are it will work if that space is there.

cannot really tell much of a difference in the ride or height. it probably does help if you have to carry a heavy load. you could add a leaf spring yourself or have a pro do it for more money and a better result.

Due to the suspension geometry, it does provide 3" of lift without measuring in at 3".And yes, if you install this with your stock struts, you will "top out" unless you use your brain.

I bought it and used it for front, but I'm curious to know if it works for the rear as well.

No, but all you have to do is make a bracket out of flatbar and two holes then mount it to the top bolt of your front shocks. Very simple, cheap mounting.

hello,I've recieved a 9,95 cubic feed thank you, but actually I don't recieved the front and rear springs from the suspension kit. How can you help me, my mercandise is incomplete

On my bike it is the front wheel that is up off the ground. But if the front weighs more (Like if I have something in a front basket) than the back then it is the back tire that is up. So it depends. Personally, I do not recommend this model. On mine the spring broke making it useless. There are better quallity stands out there that do the same thing but are much better made.

If you have front suspension it will not work. It connects at two points. Not the center. Way too heavy. Makes steering very awkwRd and bike will tip over when using kick stand.

It does lift front and back. The back is lifted by extended shackles. Shocks need to be of an extended type.

It should 2wd has a false front axle I believe the suspension is the same. It took only 3 hours to install.

Its a great edition to my giant MTB, beings your running on a small frame it will raise the front ride height so be prepared. All in all it is a very compatible shock. Get your measurements right tho! So you won't be unhappy. also it only works with disc brakes.
