Mate has had 2 of them and regrets selling them to this day.
Now wants to build a 3rd one.

There is a few tricks to it but works great when done right.

If your in Sydney give Total Care a call.

Drop the body back and put standard shackles on. Take some leafs out so they sit a litter flatter and flex better. Do the spring over and rotate the knuckles to suit. No one's replied cause it's been covered in the Cruiser Bible and multiple other times. I rate spring overs but you'll be sitting bloody high if you leave the body lift and taller shackles and probably take little lie downs on the trails.

You in Sydney?

Hi do you want height or travel? I think used I used the longer 75 series top leaf and modified the rest of the pack to gain the travel and lift all in one, Also cut the front guards back 6 inches to help with the front spring reversal. Giving a nice ride with heaps of height and travel.
