On my commute I have a small amount of off road that doesn't really work the shocks so I figured the extra weight and chunky appearance had to go. I will be installing this within the next few weeks after it gets a paint job. What are your thoughts on that? Mistake or Not?
I would look for trails that worked the shock more Breaks up the monotony.
