You can raise the spring collars which will lower the ride height.

PM me if you got that refund yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I did that to mine and it was great at the flat sand drags but it sucked when I was racing the hill in the whoops it would buck like a wild bronco.
I jacked mine up off the ground and unsprung the pree load on all my shocks untill the spring was loose then I tightened them back up so they would just compress the spring that way the springs stayed where they were supposed to when all the unsprung weight was off of them then I measured both fronts to make sure they were the same. It was a day and night differance when on flat drags I could come out of the whole hard and it would not flip on me like it wanted to when it was stock. But in the whoops it will dive into the next whoop because the suspention is so soft.

You could do wheel extenders, offset rims, flip the rims........but I still don't think you could drop it that much. Maybe a combo of this and the other idea above would get you that kind of srop without having zero preload???

Question for those who have lowered there Ds. Did you chain eat into the rear upper motor mount?? I have heard a few had this problem. What did you do to solve it??

Mine did not eat up nothing except other bikes.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
But I don't think I lowered mine as much as you are going to.

I didnt try to lower mine on purpose the first time. It just happened![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Yes my chain did eat into my motor mount. Choose gave me a good idea to fix it. Just weld another piece of round tubbing higher and cut the old one out. Just wanted to hear what everyone else did to fix it. Since I have adjusted my shocks accordingly and havent had any problems, but I may be lowering it for racing real soon. If I dont decide to get a chassis built.

Been tossing around the idea of a monorail or a suspended drag chassis.
