home made low rider shocks tutorial..

i wanted to lower my OL... but I didn't want to buy another set of shocks... so i was looking at the low rider shocks, and it seems the only thing different about them was that the screw shaft was shorter....

so here it is...

picture 1 and 2 are of supplies needed, 1 screw driver, 1 plastic coffee stirring straw, and a razor blade...

cut the plastic straw to desired lenght of lowering.... carefully cut four pieces of equal length... or you can leave the rears stock or a little bigger if you want a forward slammed look...

then take apart a stock shock... insert screw into plastic tube piece, and reasemble
it should now be shorter than a stock shock...

check out the picts its all pretty straight forward...
