Thank you, I like the idea of removing the shocks. I'll give it a go if I get a chance!
I tried loosening the bolts on the leaves to free everything up then re-torque, but I couldn't get the bolts to budge.
I decided to give up as it seemed too much like hard work
I did manage to pry apart the leaves and lubricate everything though.
Afterwards, I think there has been a marginal improvement but nothing dramatic.
I took it down some dirt roads to test and it actually rides pretty nicely on the bigger bumps, it's just smaller imperfections on the road where it seems unnecessarily harsh.
One question I've got - Is it right for my front shackles to rest in this position?
