    I don't know if it's the pic or what but looks like you could go in the furthest forward hole and have a better angle.

    I don't know how the stock/add a leaf set up you have would handle going into a negative arch during compression so keep that in mind, my dakars handle going into negative arch fine.

    How was it at full droop? Ride height looks spot on.

    Yea spring rate makes a difference, stock I'd leave that angle but with my dakars I put a little sharper angle on mine.

    Cool, I'd leave it be. Moving one hole forward will increase your effective spring rate.

    Shackle angle is fine, leave it. How long did you fuck with those rivets? :laugh:

    Awesome, digging the tank setup. Now looking at setting myself up with a tank under the bed. Am I missing something, what's the difference between theses two? I see the psi rating is a bit different but what throwing me off is the difference in full pricing.
