No binding at all. The rear end moves up/down smoothly. With my old shocks removed, I can easily push the rear end down 4"-5". With the...
Here's a pic, Squirrel. Best one I have. The shocks are nearly vertical, as you can see.[ATTACH]
Getting the rear tires off has been an adventure, as the shocks are at their fully extended position. :D It can be done, but it's a PITA....
