Like this: http://www.psep.biz/store/suspension_tools.htm Then hack at your own risk. The stock shocks are oversprung anyway (which is why progressives are so popular) so you could get lucky. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
