SHOCKWAVES INSTALLED

anyways, 6hr job turned into 2 week job with all the stuff that came in the way, but it was definitely worth it!
I had been riding around on cut springs up until now. I couldn't turn the wheel more than a crank and a half in either direction b/c we cut them so low, feels amazing being able to lift it a bit for driving and not having to worry about if i can maneuver in/out of a spot. Not to mention the ride quality is AMAZING! so much more solid.
here's a few pics from the install

before tearing into it


all the old stuff removed


mocked up the setup to figure out where the frame needed to be cut


let the experienced grandpa cut the frame. his pace is a good solid 10x what i was doing :p


all installed


old/new.... SO much more of the frame had to be cut than i anticipated!
a lot less clutter... i love it!


high vs low... could raise it another 1.5 in or so if i reallllly needed to go do some wheelin
