elka or other aftermarket rear, ride height lowered?

Anybody switched out the rear for an Elka or other shock, wondering if the ride height can be lowered with the stock linkage?

I have a couple customers with the Custom Axis rear. Axis goes with a single rate due to the linkage leverage ratios. They say it performs better.

Now as for the ride height, you will have more adjustment with a aftermarket rear and will be able to get your ride height down. The key though is to get the sag ratios correct. You will have to switch to a "zero preload" set-up to drop the quad to a great degree.

thats what I was afraid of. I got the GT Thunder revalves and linkage, but the seat height seems just as high as stock. It rides a whole lot better, just want to get the rear down another 2 to 3 inches to get it more stable.
