    Hey fellas, bout to loosen torsions slightly. Got BT spindles & flipped bj's, just want lil more. If I decrease amount of exposed torsion bolt by 1/2", will the amount of drop be linear? Thanx

    To answer the question though, no it isn't linear. The length of the levers are different, and being that the key is shorter, to lower 1" at the wheel it will require less than that at the key.
