Steve, the seat does feel a lot higher to be honest. Its also very hard. But softeneing a little.with every mile. :-) id say itnrealistically adds 2" to the seated height. Ive gone from flat both feet. To toes down both feet.

Shock is grand. Hasnt really done anything for the ride. Feels a little harsh at times but im still tweaking it. (500 miles done so far) it really has transformed the handling though. soooo stable and offroad soaks up anything. No more speed wobbles.when loaded. Its awsome.
