Put it back the way it was....
What is a half inch going to do for you ?
My father used to bust my ***** and say to me all the time..."what makes you so much smarter than the engineers who went to collage and engineering school to FU%$ with the suspension of that (in my case back then......) car?
and he was right....when I tried to lift it by inserting spring lifts...I'd brake the springs in about 6 months.
With a bike.....why screw with the suspension that keeps you upright.....?
Change the shocks of course but dont go lowering stuff cause you only wind up with problems and no ones going to give a crap that your bike is 1/2 inch lower.
Now everyone who likes lowering stuff can go ahead and read me the riot act...
