I have dropped my left rear shock behind spring in order to gain more traction as per the rocket setup manual. I have not been able to find anything as far as the side effects of dropping the bracket. How does doing this affect roll steer/ drive angles?

Thanks for any help,

Moving the shock mount down on the birdcage will take travel away. Been there, done that. That in turn will take forward traction away.


That has been my experience.

It will add traction coming off the corner in most cases, however if the rear shock is stopping/limiting the LR travel you will need to add an extension to the shock or you can get what RB discribed by reducing the overall travel,
