I've seen a lot posted on the 700's and some on 1000 with no load leveling ability! but I am interested in members that have put rear spacers on 1000-5 with load leveling!!! how it worked out? what they used? did they make the pipe spacers same height as the front that they chose? ak_centurian had a post but I can't find an area where he said it worked out or not.

I don't recall anyone doing spacer on the load leveling shocks.... Yet!
If @AK_Centurion did I must have missed it.

Fronts were 1 1/16". I didn't do a before and after measurement, figure it gained 2". Rear was 2" spacer and it raised it 4".

The spacers work. Not sure how it affected the load leveling, I never checked it out. I guess I don't compress the shocks enough for them to kick in any more. Made the spacers 2" tall to level it out with the front. Raised the rear almost 4".

so have you had any problems out of it since installing? is the ride stiffer? I know when the unit is new it sits up but once you put some miles on it the settle was the lift spacers you installed to off set the settling or was it a true lift after you ran it awhile?
