    I currently only have a 2in spacer up front and want to level out the back so I don't have a "bro lean". Front measures 23 1/8 inches from center wheel to fender. back is at 22inches. Do you think a 1inch block in the rear would bring it up to level or dead close?

    Think a 1.5" block will get you where you want to be. Mines 23" center to fender all around.

    @foxhound_69 Did you have to sign up for Jet to be able to edit the quantity of the rear shocks? I tried it w/o signing up and it would only let me order one of the rear shocks but able to get two of the front...

    Have you tried recently? When I initially added them to the cart about 2 weeks ago, it would only let me add one, even after logging in.

    Can anyone find me a picture of a '16 DCSB with stock coils and 5100s up front? I specifically need to see the top bolt of the shock. After install I let off the jack and let the assembly lower into place and with that bolt all the way tight there is still a gap. I set it at 1.75" and will post a picture in a second.
