Yeah i only moved the rear due to a clearance issue i had with the rear skid when it was COMPLETELY bottomed out, i mean two 200lb ppl on the back bumper the studs would hit the tunnel/rear exchanger... so i moved it down more and now it cannot hit no matter what....its basically like adding a drop braket to a proaction same kind of idea

Rooster,
Can you post a pic of it now that you moved the suspension down?

Roost 'Er. I just followed the dimensions from JB shocks and it worked well. However, you have to make sure to measure to the top of the tunnel to get the correct clearance. I've put about 350 KM's on it over the holidays and it is fantastic. I can sail over the rough stuff now. All I need now is to update the front suspension and add a 2" handlebar riser. It transfers better than ever and it goes straight! My Pro action always pulled to the right even from new no matter what I adjusted.

hatch ill take one tommorow for ya
DEESRX, i have a feeling my rear shock is too soft but i was done to the JB shock setttings also and my skid WILL hit the rear exchangers when it is completely bottomed out, put two 200lb guys on the back then look under with a trouble light, youll see what i mean... all measurements were done to mine from the top also we were within a thou probably the holes were perfect to the JB specs.... my proaction pulled too i forget what side, im still working on setting the skid up once its all done ill tell ya what i end up with, but i do believe my rear shock being too soft is why i had the problem as it allowed too much transfer and whatnot, as it stands right now no matter what i do it will not hit as the suspension completely compressed on the block doesnt hit.... ill get pics tommorow
