Hey jon on the Cell so no pm. Happy to help though. The spring change will go like the last job (after you did it right) but with a extra step. You need to pull the dampener rods out. after you take the wheel off and loosen the fork caps there is a hole in the very bottom of each leg. Take a 6mm? Allen and run it Up in there just past where the axle goes and you will see a bolt break it loose then when you pull your forks and caps hold the spring as you tip the fork over to dump the oil then take that bolt you brome free out (that holds the dampener rod in) now with the forks upside down and srings still in pull the springs out and the rod will follow. Carfull you dont drop it. Add one of the little springs along with the one already there for 1” of drop or two springs for 2” of drop. then reverse how you pulled them apart. Your pvc spacers will be different from the ones in there now but the fluid level will still be the same at 5.5” from the top.

I didnt like 2” of drop it left only 3.5” of travel and in michigan at least thats good for your own driveway and thats it.... They pay the road workers big money to put roads in upsidedown around here

Call if you need any help 15868738412 just keep in mind your 3 hours behind me (but im Up for a little while longer)
