Ill put in my $.02 just to add to the confusion. My question about the rear raise was directed at the beahavior of the front tire and his consern of the chattering before losing it. Taking that much rake out will exasperate that condition tremendously. In addition to messing with the front, that much raise will put his swing arm angle in never never land. Im not going to say either will improve his chicken strip issue on the back but it will certainly mess with his head and make him think it cant lean any farther.
