Hey Werty Made, what measurement are you getting from the ground to the belly pan at the lowest point with some 5.5" tires on? I was wondering abot going with a little longer shock up front too, something with a 70mm ish spring.

you could always just use a longer shock rod end.

There's an idea, when you change out ends like this how do you back up the shaft without scratching it?

Get one of these fine shock tools. It even has a hollow ball extractor and installer.

Under the bottom spring cup, the shaft is flatten on 2 sides to hold it, it is not on a part of the shaft that goes into the shock so no need to worry about the seal. I was pleasantly surprised to find that out when I swapped the bottom rod ends.

The yeti has more articulation than my comp rig.

Any shocks equivalent to the HPI 162mm? I'm not able to find them anywhere.
