I was wondering about how much play do you have in ride height on aftermarket shocks? I like low, and I'm planning on getting elka recs. Anybody know?

There is quite a bit of room for adjustment on the elkas. I can take mine down as low as 7" and as high as 10"(measured from frame to ground). I have noticed if I set them too low they feel soft and I tend to get some body roll. Mine are set up for trails so they seem to work best with around 8 or 8.5 inches. Also I'm not sure if it's just my setup or not but if I adjust things too low the steering feels heavy. Just something to consider. When you order the shocks you can tell them how you want the quad to sit and they will be able to set the shocks up right for you.
