    What is your exhaust setup at this time, and do you have any other suspension mods?

    The install is pretty straightforward, the factory brackets are riveted to the frame. Depending on what method you use to remove the rivets, it may be easy or difficult. Removal with a torch or plasma cutter makes it a quick job. Grinding and/or drilling takes alot more effort.

    i dont want to go to low, i race mx and am at the tracks everyday going in n out of dirt roads and what not. so the 2/4 drop was the most practical for myself! id love to do a 4/6, its jsut not practical for what i do!


    and from what i could find out hanger shackles and cols seemed to be the best option? unless people have other routes!?

    Sounds to me like you've got your mind made up already. Your plan is sound, the combination will work well for you, the only thing left is to DO IT!!

    Post up a pic after you're done, we want to see the finished product.
