    The first big bump he encounters could be a very exciting time.

      Its definitely a concern lol. I was bouncing around with all my weight and a buddy of mine said it wasn’t close to hitting but worst comes to worse, I’ll put some taller shocks on it.

          Also there were comments about my tire being close to the frame, which I totally agree with, so I ended up putting the stock shocks back on which raised me back up about an inch. Here’s how it sits today.
