nope... works just fine with my integy shocks... also 3 inch are too short to work on the link setup i have... they would require laying the shocks almost flat and i am at about the limit for lean on a set of shocks.

got it done today and tried it out... WOW!

this thing is sweet... it climbs like a stick with the same break over capability.

only thing left is to put some stiffer springs on it. i had it set up way to soft.
