I wouldn't mind the rear end sitting about half an inch or so lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually shop around so I'll go to 3 or 4 more shops and see what the general consensus is regarding cutting/compressing then I'll decide. Mind you, I had to take the beast down a dirt track on my mates farm over new years and the scraping was pretty bad.. so perhaps I'll leave it yet.
