I will be getting some Elka SSD front shocks. How will this ride, being that the front end is lower than the back?

How will this set up be for jumping?

Also, Is it easy to remove the SSD spring, if I feel its nesseccary?

I rode for about 2 months with my Elka fronts and stock rear. I didn't really notice or have any problems. It still rides much better then stock I do know that!

Jumping will be fine, because you will be able to adjust the rear to make it work better and more like the fronts.

if your not hardcore & just a weekend warrior or whatever then just get the rear rebuild by santo derisi with the pro millenium kit & new spring...its great!

run your front preload down to level it till you can get the rear done.. get the rear zps when you do it.. i have a z and you just can't rear low enough with out zps.. right now i have my front spring jacked down to raise it.. but it's still lower than stock and handles great
