Any time you change the angle on the shocks, no matter which plane,
you put extra load on the shock itself and the mounting bolts!
Grade 8 bolts are a must!!!
I have kicked back shocks to lower a few bikes.
And I have snapped grade 8 bolts because of the stress
and some swallow semi holes!
It's a neat trick, it's cheap.
But do you want to bet your LIFE on it?
