- Tom, the CAT springs I purchased, were from 20 years ago, so you should have a newer set than mine. If yours are low, after installation, add a rubber insolator/spacer to the bottom to bring it up. A

- Larry's wise comments are correct, but most of the people I see are riding too high, when you can put a large fist between the tire and the fender lip and move it up and down. It's too high. Some, ac
