Re: rear end stuck in the air
 

I cut the shock mount off and relocated it to the top of the frame. then I cut the bump stops off. 6 years on the road every day. rides nice. the issue I had was shocks that would be short enough. the ones that were on it only had 1/2" of travel left. then at an inch the bump stop would limit travel.
