Xl lowering options?

[1800bigk]

What are the options to lower the savage Xl? I have read about a new chassis and something about fuel tubing in the shocks, still don't get that one. What else are people doing to lower the xl. I want to lower mine to calm wheelies and reduce tipping when turning.

Fuel tubing on the shock shaft (under the piston) will work but take some of the travel of the shock away so don't make them too big.
Changing tires, softer springs and less pre loads on the shocks will also get you lower.

ya if you take out the preload spacers it drops the stance alot but i wouldnt suggest heavy duty jumps like this as it tends to bottom out at times well it does on my x anyways...

id suggest first going with a different tire, the terra pins are a tall tire with a flimsy sidewall which don't do you any favors in terms of 'tipping' in turns.

2 buds with XL's just went from terra pins to mulchers (Maxx size) & good foams and claim a lot of stability.
