lowering rx ft end

[STAIN]

with some of the talk of rx tippyness has anyone put shock spacers in the ft shocks to maybe lower it an inch or two? I might try it next year. I don't think that the slight loss of suspension travel would be noticed---- I have yet to bottom the front end out in 2000 miles of my 05

All I can say is wide front end kit. Not only does it widen your front out, it also lowers it about 1.5".

You don't want to go down too far, otherwise the back suspension won't work right. Set the front spring preload to zero, that'll drop the front by enough to make a BIG difference.

Make sure to tighten the straps down when you lower the front, otherwise it'll just make it WORSE.

I set my preload to zero for hard conditions and tighten as the snow gets softer, and I have my strap up one hole. I also run #130 ft springs
I was just studying my ft end after a 240 mile ride on friday and noticed that the a-arms have an upward angle. I was just wondering if they laid flat if it would handle even better. I agree that I might have to go another hole on the strap if it was lowered an inch or so
