Default ? about rear bushings

Lowered the vert tonight and thought the rear was too low(for my taste). After cutting the rear bushings can they be replaced over the bolts or do you have to buy 4 new ones for proper function?

You can reuse the bolts if that is what you mean.
Never, never cut the rear bushings. :banghead:
They are there for a purpose. Get longer bolts if needed.

Thanks Dave for the advice. I ordered longer bolts and new rear insulators/bushings. Better done right now than have a problem later :leaving: :leaving:

Don't forget the alignment after you are happy with the height.
Good luck with it.
