The shock stay sports lower shock mounting holes which reduces up travel slightly while making it easier to achieve the correct down travel. Drivers can screw the shock end on all the way, which adds safety. For smooth tracks, owners can also try adding one additional shock O-ring on the shock shaft, to reduce up travel further and the correct shock length to run is 120-121mm with this tower. As for the upper links, the stock middle hole is the same as the lowest hole on this tower. This means that there is one higher row on the new low tower.
