Me too, +2 JD performance a arms in front for me, my quad sat LOWER with them on and the stock shocks on it. How does one get +2 "all the way around? Did you extend your swingarm, also? That might have something to do with yours sporting the 4X4 look. I got Works triples w/ cans and mine has 2.5" sag now and kicks a$$. By the way, you are the one who obviously was dropped on your head as a child because in your first response, you said that compression stays the same and now we are saying something different. Compression is not lost, the ratio is changed. Go get on a see saw and put your Mom on one side (but in the middle) and you at the other. Try to lift her. Now, have her move back to the seat and see if you can lift her. Much easier, huh? its called leverage and that is why your shocks bottom out easier as unsprung weight gets farther from the point of origin.

nono What ever.. stock shocks with +2 a-arms sits 3/4 of an inch higher call tcs call shoc connection.. As for compression there ain't none in your head... compression = length x force Do your math. i am sure you cannot get force so stop inhaling your exaust that is y you hak... this is getting lame...late

maybe since there are different a-arms involved the shock mounts are different alowing each person their own experience. Some a-arms have three different mounts

There ain't no vegas dunes... closest spot is Dumont.. Every thing out here is hard packed (unless it rains like today) but there are a few (crappy) tracks around.. The MX track at the Speedway is the best

I guess there isnt much there. I went to www.dumontdunes.com and they showed pics of the nellis dunes and they looked like sand hills to me. I think I shall just stop my eastbound journey at Baker since it it is the halfway point for me to Vegas
