Are you talking about lowering your ride height in the front only or the rear too?

what IS your ride height with you on the quad? Front? and Rear? measure the front near where the nerf bars atache before it rakes up.

ive got the stock rear shock but i do have an AXIS rear that needs a different spring on it so until then i cannot put it on my bike its setup way too soft the fronts are bout perfect as far as ride quality but height is a different story i rode my buddys stock suzuki and i can take corners alot better and faster than on my bike it would help alot if mine didnt sit as high ill measure the height and let you know Off-Road Maniac
