Raised my front end an inch...it was waaaay to low and scraping and causing the front to chatter on bumps mid corner...
Soo much better, back in the correct part of the dampner stroke...no more chattering...

Yep, I'm running the same setup and it's great for daily however I wish it brought the front down a bit more but that would mess with the geometry
