yea i was on prokit. i jus kinda guessed how low to go and then adjusted and evened it out from there. rides not that bad after i turned the dampening down. obviously more bouncy than the prokits but nothing i cant deal with.

I think the drop is perfect. You could fit a phatty j btw the tire and well and that's what I like. Dropped but with ridability.
