Worked great no prob with anything. lowered it a little more than 1 inch. crazy thing thou, the bolts are facing the exhaust pipe. so when you try to pull them out the pipe is in the way. I took both bolts out , bottom and top off the shock, droped it down - all good. i go to take the front bolt out, get the nut off start to take the bolt out and it gets stuck. I was scarred of breaking the bolt i had to put sooo much pressure on it i could not even get it to move. so after about an hour of hammering on this bolt with a driver finally got it out. had to grind down the threads and grind bown the head just to get it back in. 20 min job took over 2 hours. but the link works great.

Excellent. Let me ask...in removing that bolt, would raising or lowering the tail provide more bolt removal clearance?

The front bolt? no. the back two bolts. no. I just turned them around where the nut is on the tail pipe side. The bottom bolt is a little close to the pipe but I think it will be fine. going to the track to see if i can get a little better 60ft.

Kept the link as it was shipped to me, 1.78 60ft 7.04 @ 104.5 in the 1/8th still pulls up the front wheel too much
