P1000 Lowering P1K for better ride

[0860silverado]

Hey guys, unusual question here. Does anyone know of a way to lower a P1K? The way I use my machine, will never need all of the suspension travel and ground clearance it has from stock. I mount and dismount my machine literally 600 times per day (reading water meters) and my 30 inch legs require me to step up a little more than I like. I think lowering it a couple inches will also improve the ride due to the arms being more level. Shorter shocks? Cut a coil or two out of the stockers? Thanks!

I think cutting the coils or buying some shorter springs is going to be your best bet. Limiting straps could probably do it as well.

You could also find a few fat friends to ride along!

Yep either this or moving shocks in at top or out at bottom. Possibly run 700 shocks?

My thoughts exactly on 700 shocks. I guess I'll hop on over to the 700 section for pics/specs on 700 shocks. Thanks!
