Finaly after two or more years of yes, no, yes no I bit the bullet and ordered my springs for the front and back from doc.

the front is relatively easy, some basic tools and some basic know how  :pot: and you will be ok, the back you need the right tools to compress the spring, or you might just give your self a hillbilly smile, no front teeth  :laughing4:

I have the longer links that lift the back, but with the soft suspension I can sit on the bike with flat feet, not any more, my first impression when I finished puting the bike together  was, im definitely going to see my ass at a stop street or two, might later put the original links back.

before I stripped the bike I took it for a short dirt ride, a nice kak back road  :ricky: after puting everything back I went again,  all I can say is I should have done this years ago, its no yz250, but 1000% better than stock suspension
