Default JS Lift and lowering blocks

If I install 1" lowering blocks on my lowrider does anyone know if it will create any issues with be getting the lift under my bike? Also, when I have the lower part of the shock loose from the swingarm, whould that be the time to adjust the shocks or do they need to be attached on both ends to adjust. Sorry for the elementary questions.l

Do you already have the lift?

Adjust the shocks while installed.

I would assume you went to the J&S website where they list the specs of the jack.

You may or may not have missed this one:

Minimum lift height 4”

If you're bike's ground clearance is less than that with the lowering blocks then yes, you will have a problem.

I already have the lift. I was just wondering if I jack it up, install the 1" lowering blocks, will have an issue getting it off the lift and the lift out from under the bike. I probably better have some one handy to help me just in case.

I don't see why it wouldn't! I got about an 1" to 1.5" sitting on the jiffy. I'd say worse case you have to put a 2x4 under the jiffy to sit the bike straight up!

+1 on adjust installed. I'd get a spanner wrench to make it easy!

Ditto - might have to block the stand. I know mine just fits under the FLHX w/little room to spare & it's not lowered.
