Neo is it worth me putting an NC30 shock on to Jack it up a little?

I thought I could squeeze it in and it would Jack it up?

I read on here it's only 20mm difference? Is that incorrect?

its 25mm i think, 280 vs 305mm so about 1inch.

Jacking the rear up will cause the front to steer quicker but sacrifice some straight line stability.

Due to the already 18/16" setup with wheels the NC24 already steers pretty quick.

Nothing to stop you trying it and see if it fits / how you get on.

Thanks Neo I wouldn't want to try it unless I was pretty sure it would work well
