Before you go slamming your ride you need to take into consideration the shocks you are using. The length of rod movement must be accounted for. If you slam your ride without the use of a shock with a shortened rod you will bounce all around town due to the fact that the shock absorber has no travel and is thereby not dampening the spring ocsilations. If you start playing around in the 3 drop region youd better get some new shocks.
That would be fun.
