The fronts i took out a perch ring and I'm scared to drive it. lol But the rears, i wouldn't take a perch ring out. There is no way to keep the one ring on the thread with out the lock ring. I would be too afraid for it twist down by itself while i'm driving and ***** something up. lol Scary feeling....

but honestly, theres not really a point to remove the rears. cuz the rears already go lower than the fronts. unless you want the rear to go lower. haha

Well in the front the thread ends ontop of the bracket preventing it from going anywhere. lol But the reas, just looks unsafe. Hahaha

It'd seem to me you'd have a slight problem with your exhaust there... But I'm no expert!
