extended swing arms,shorter shocks or no shocks (hard tail),inverted forks,different fork springs,changing the rake angle ,,different wheel and tyre combos,lots of ways to do it.Unless ur careful and plan things out,most result in a poopy ride and/or poopy handling-just my 2 cents.bj

By sliding the fork tubes up in the tree an inch or so, you lose some height and gain a fair bit in the handling department.
A progressive shock replacement in the rear is nice and cheap way to drop your butt.
