SMOOTHER RIDE?

6 bars are holding up at least #100 more up front and the old bars are probably sprung anyway. Get yourself some V8 bars. Put a piece of gum on the bumpstop and go for a ride. see if the gum is smashed when your done. The shocks DO NOT support the front in any way.

Yes, shock don't support. But the slow the compression and extension movement down. They are a time deal.

They will slow down the suspension before it has time to hit the bumpstops (to a degree, not absolute)
