Take it off and set it on the deck above while scaling.

some people just unhook the lower mount....... and then forget to reinstall/tighten it and destroy it when they loadup or hit the track, take it off!
You should be able to get a sheet that goes with the shock with baseline settings

Traction shock is an inappropriate name, 'hike down control shock' would be a more appropriate name(probably won't sell as many although!)

A lot of teams are running just the rear shock now.

You just need a specially valve shock to control the "hike down".
