Well when you lower the front the rear does change besides over the axle. The axle works like a fulcrum, so when the front goes down anything behind the rear axle comes up a little.

I'm suprised you don't scrape Paul, Wendys scraped way too easily for me when I lowered front and rear. Now that just the rear is lowered 2" on a rare occasion if the road is crowned in a corner or going out of a steep driveway the tip of her pipes might scrape. With both ends lowered I was scraping the kickstand and front of the pipe as well as the rear.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
