Why do you want to jack it up that much, IMHO thats going to seriously f*ck up the handling of your bike, Normally I think the jack up kits are 20 - 25mm jack up at the most.

If you want it that high you'd be better off adding a bracket to the subframe to lift it.
Socomm23 had his SV sub frame jacked like that...

Agreed!

Jacking the suspension that much (Not sure you will get dog bones short enough to do it) will make the steering angle so steep, anythink over 5mph is gonna be a tank slapper.

I got the dog bones that would lower mine!

(okay, my hubby did)

If I remember correctly they came from a place called "wild hair accessories" or something like that. It was in Europe.
