    N2 pressure changes spring rate.

    That's valving. Dropping n2 pressure slightly might help.

    It’s not too bad. Biggest thing is following correct assembly procedures.

    It is allot easier to understand how they work after you rip a set open though

    You're going to have a hard time pulling more that 12" of travel with a stock length spring pack, flipped or not. i'm going to prototype a relocate hoop this summer, trying to get the lower shock end higher than is possible with the BAMF kit I have now, depending how much of a hurry you're in.

    The adjustment clicker is a sort of poor man's bypass shock, if you want ultimate performance just upgrade the rears to a 3 tube bypass, and add a secondary bypass shock on the front.

    The archive relocate supports 14in travel, so it says.

    It looks like accutune sells it. I’m going to call them at some point.

    Bypasses will probably wait until LT and moving out west.

    Yup, it will handle a 14" travel shock, however the stock geometry springs will do between 11 and 12" even with a hanger upgrade or shackle flip. There's only so much travel in that spring length (without going massively inverted and breaking springs).

    And before someone jumps in about "inverted leaves are fine": yes, yes they are, when the pack is designed to operate that way; however the transition from normal to inverted and back is apparently not good for a leaf pack, and probably the reason that shackle flipped 2nd gen tacos break springs...

    It's wise to politely ignore the crazy drunks, the crack whores, and most of the other local mega-fauna that lives in Chester.

    My brother was listening to him that whole time. I told him to get away, he just needs to go "check" something and then walk away

    Exactly, although he's up-state for 5 years now.

    Sad story, something about getting popped for a 3rd distribution and firearms charge. While on parole for #1 and bail for #2...
