Here is another observation, and what is leading me to believe the bars are to low. After finding the cords
Our chalk stripes consisted of about 8-9" hit initially then a 1' gap and then back on the bars for about 2', on a couple passes we actually have a third strip for 8" or so...Also notice the front tires did not leave the tarmac at all..
As for the shocks I should have replaced them when I had to replace the springs. I will get it done before we start next year for sure. I am a little suspect that they might be an issue.
