it will fit 5.75" tires with the shocks mounted in middle hole so i cant figure out why you would want to go higher i levaled mine by taking the spring preload adjuster off the rear and it sits nice and leval |

Start by adjusting the collars on the shocks themselves that's what they are there for. If that doesn't work then yes possibly different spring rates.

You can always get 100mm shocks and mount them on the top hole. You'll gain some travel, but ride height should be back to normal. if it still sits low, then adjust height with the other holes. Either way you'll gain travel and won't lose height.

And because she's a little heavy in the bottom(scout body)......an extra extra large backpack....Extreme pak with smaller(not small) carrying bag. 35 bucks shipped. And the bag closes with rack and spare tire installed.  Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |
