Help with Jacer ride heights

[steve everard]

I am inquiring about the Jacer ride heights and would welcome some advice, We are running a Jacer in America and have a rear ground clearance of 3 inches (floor to ground) The front is the same and controlled by the shock ie the shock is at full extension with the driver installed. The resulting shock travel is extrely small at 1.5 inches. Can anyone advise if this is just the way it is with the Jacer ? Can't change the rear ride height correct ? Front should be lower than rear correct ?

Can't advise on the Jacer specifically but I can tell you that the rear ride height can be made adjustable by using shims under a detachable motor mount. See picture.

Using the front shocks to control the droop can be effective although 1.5" of total shock movement sounds marginal to me. I think you will find that some rake in the car will help.
