Merry Christmas Everyone!
Just finished replacing my shocks with Elka Stage 1's. Prior to the installation I had 9" clearance with the stock tires and afterwards I had 9" too.
I also replaced the stock rollers with Dr. Pulley Sliders (25g) while I was at it. Thanks NMK for all your videos, they were a great help.
Next up is some new tires. I have been doing a lot of research and it amazes me how many complaints there are about tires not measuring up. :-) The listed diameter of a tire is only a small part of clearance. Clearance is all about tire height which has everything to do with how much air is in the tires and how much your ride weighs. Tire diameter is how far the vehicle travels for every revolution of the tire.
Cheers!
