    I upgraded my 3rd gen front springs to racetech 1.0 and now the bike's front end is a little higher than the rear. Can anyone please advise how to raise the rear end to balance out the ride.

    Thanks

    More rear pre-load will help a bit, but you might also consider raising the forks about 8-10mm in the clamps.

    I actually like where the front is...i want to get the rear up higher.

    When you say preload do you mean adjusting the shock with the tool?
