    2012 rocket. Dragging right front nose

    I've got a 12 blue grey rocket that keeps dragging right front nose and all the way back behind steering rack .im currently using 3 small 1 big for my tires. What adverse effect will it make by using 3 big 1 small. Just to try to get frame higher off ground.

      The plastic nose/skirt drags or the frame? You don't gain much in diameter with the circumference difference in the tires, bolt them on and measure ground clearance for yourself To remedy: more wheel rate @ RF, less travel (they go together). Raise RF static ride Height. Main/contributing factors RF wheel rate( and with that spring rate), available travel in shock from static ride height, LR droop Panhard bar rake/length, driving style, track configuration. What do you have?

          Track has very little banking. But has been rough and choppy

          I've got a 3/16 pice of aluminum around rack and it has drug it completed through and It's starting into frame. Basically where lower control arm mounts to rack
          Having to run car very high and hard on track
          But I think the rough choppy condition is what's causing it to bottom out
