Last night I attempted to install my new progressive 412 11". I got the right one on no problem. However the left side (sprocket) is being a pain. I got the top on but can't get the bottom to line up. I am going about this the hard way though. No lift and doing it by myself.
So can someone please help me out. I need to get the bike up about an inch or an inch and a half just to get the bottom bolt through. Would adjusting the other installed shock up to highest setting work or am I going to have to do something more drastic?
Thanks in advance.
FWIW, I posted in the suspension section but looking for a quick answer. Wanting to finish even though the Iowa weather blows.
