Yea I'm dunes only too. What did you plug the original hole with? Weld???

 

moving the lower shock mount in may raise the front but it would also change other things like the point at which the suspension bottoms out and it would also make the front end softer because of added leverage on the shock . this may cause the front end to sag and cancell out any raise you would have thought you would gain. your way, no travel gain, my way yes travel gain because the a arms angle downward when mounted, lengthening them will raise the bike without relocating the shock. when the suspension is bottomed the wheel will also travel up further than it did before. you can basically figure the amount of travel gained by doubling the amount the bike is raised by the longer a arms .

 

why not just leave a stem in it?

 

Origional stem needs to come out, put it in backwards, to clear brakes., works for me .. take a look at your bike.

super I'll think on it a bit. but it seems simple. Futher away from pivot point, more up and down throw. The actual travel of the shock itself, and mounting point/angle, would be the only limiting factor? Yes??

 

SST,

What shocks are you going to run?

I thought you had said you were looking to have them + forward as well. Did you change your mind ?
