take the shock out and adjust it
it can be a big enough pain in the ass to adjust an rc on a s8. santacruz is sure good at making shocks difficult to reach

thats looking like my only option. It takes two people just to get the pump on the damn thing, and one of them has to have tiny hands. good thing I live with pixies on the plus side it feels way better then the damn RC

Cucumber Jones im not much of a hucker so I have no need of an Avalanche no matter how it is.

You don't need to be a hucker to love the avy. It is much nicer not to have to mess with my shock all the time. I thought about a 5th for my s8 and went for the avy. Man am I happy.
