I'm not sure if you want it higher or lower, but you do realize that 
the SSSA has an eccentric adjustor that affects the ride height, 
right? Many of us have found that if it is adjusted in the wrong 
portion of the revolution, ground clearance becomes a serious 
problem. You might check that out before spending a bunch on a new 
shock.

Then again your '99 shock might be as crapped out as mine.
