SAG MADE EASY

Setting sag becomes a one-man task using the Slacker digital sag scale ($149.99) and optional Street Kit ($24.99). The latest version of the tool includes an Auto-Zero function that registers the suspension's fully unloaded state, which allows precise measurement of overall front and rear sag-the foundation of proper chassis setup.
