Thanks for the tips. It's been a great help. I'll probably be asking some questions as soon as I get them in about setting the payload and setting the ride height. Thanks again.

the bolts area a real b!tch to get off, my impact wouldn't break the rear bolts loose, i finally got them by laying under the bike and using my foot against a 1/2 ratchet. To make the install easier try and put a floor jack under the back tire to help line up the bolts, thats what i did when i lowered mine and i put it back together in about 30 min

Yeah I think the easy part is going to be lowering it. I'm going to try all these techniques when tryinb to get the bolts off. I asked the local bike shop how they got em off. He said he uses a box end wrench and a dead blow hammer. Real high tech stuff from the pros. I guess the only way is a little elbow grease.
