Rich, your going to gain alot more stored energy
with the small bars... get some longer shocks(alot
of guys like the calvert fronts)... if you still need
a little more travel grind your snubbers down on a
belt sander(a little easier if you freeze them) but
dont take them out completely steel on steel tends
to upset the chassis... if you grind down the snubbers
try to keep a similar shape... the shape is to have
a stack up rate... but just make them shorter
