    I'm thinking HD torsion bars may be more helpful...
    I have thought of that as well, but I suspect the auto proportioning valve built into the factory housing has failed. I had the same problem even when it was stock. HD torsion bars are looking good in my near future. I also lowered the front end when I went SFIFS,performs far better on the trail, but the dive definitely got worse on the street, perhaps that is more motivation to give Matt over at Indy a call?

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Yeh, I think you're right. If the dive got worser when you de-tweaked, it would stand to reason that more torsional resistance should improve dive characteristics.

    FWIW, I think the factory proportions F-R are totally bogus, as I've never had any other vehicle wear the rear brakes faster than the fronts...

    Boy,

    Here ya go. Now you don't have any excuses to still have the ABS light on when I get home.

    All,

    The 'Lectric tape over the Airbag light didn't work. Bulb gets too hot & melts the tape.
