they do raise rear but you can still use center stand but it dont lift the rear off the ground,, much improved handling and lean angle clearance,which is what i wanted.
I met Grimmie he had them on his 3" extended swing arm from Sean. I think my swingarm may be 2" extended. Think ill eventually look for a pair of these
We normally do not relocate the shock mount forward when using these shocks. So, 3" rear relocation of the shock mounts and these shocks ends up lowering the bike about 1.5". They work very well for that. You will need to sacrifice an OEM shock to get the rubber inserts out to install in them.
