    shocks

    This sounds more like a spring or spring mount problem. Shocks keep spring bounce under control, they don't do anything to keep the suspension raised. The only way I could see that they would effect ride height would be if they where sticking part way through there travel, this is something...

My first thought was a punched through clutch fork, when I looked ast the...
