I would imagine that it is possible that you changed the center of gravity of the engine when you raised it up and re-distributed the weight of the motor there-by shifting a little bit of the weight to the rear and removing some of the pressure from your front suspension. So, did the angle at which the motor is sitting seem to change a little as well? I would imagine that it did because you said that your shocks are no longer compressed as far.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you got it done and are pleased with the results....minus the squeak. Who knows, maybe the squeak is a result of the shift in gravity as well?

Cheers,
