Re: 97 Front Spring Conversion to SD???

[ QUOTE ]
But I think I like Shannon's version although I think lowering it could be dealt with by installing a block to raise it up again, not sure.

NO! Absolutely not. Blocks are for the rear, not the front. If you want to lift with Shannon's version, use a longer shackle. This might require moving the perch to keep the shackle position correct, but much safer than using a block on the front.
