Awesome!!! Were you on the bumpstops on the rear left. Looks like you had almost an inch of compression to go. Good Job. Looks clean and neat. Damn dude, that is awesome.

yea, erik it was juuuust touching the bump stop. i think if it was under force, it may use a bit more of the shock.. but, i'm glad to have a bit left over.

Exactly. I think it looks beautiful, just the way it is. Like you said, some left over, just in case you manage to force the tire up a little more.

I think it looks awesome. Another modification well done Erik.
