my ass is too high....need some help

ok, i have decided that i cant really get a good footprint on the ground when i am stationary so i have decided to lower the back end by an inch or two.
i have had new tie rods made for the rear suspension but my problem is i need to prop the bike up by the frame rather than the rear paddock stand so the rear suspension hangs freely.
any one got any tips to help me out?
will the side stand take the weight if if tipped it over until the rear wheel is off the ground and then chocked up the r/h side or is a proper built stand which utilises the bottom rear engine mount a better option?

any help appreciated please
 
Tie rods? :-k
You talking about a hard-tail?

Evidently there is no centerstand? :o

Also, is it your ass or your bike's that's too high? :-k
Makes a difference as to what you need to do to rectify that situation.

I regularly tilt my bike ZRX1200 up on the sidestand until the rear wheel is off the ground to oil my chain. It's a 2 man job with one at the rear oiling and spinning the rear wheel, but the side stand will take it and you really don't need a center stand if done this way.

Block under the engine part of the frame (like a temporary centre stand)?

not as easy as it sounds, its a monoshock conversion and the bottom rocker mount bolts to the bottom rear frame.

its a gsxr1100 monoshock conversion, as above so there is no centerstand. just need the back end lowered by an inch or 2.
