You are limiting the suspension travel. You dont need weight transfer , just need for it to go forward.

basically its goin to limit your front end from trying to rise.

also, do you have a progressive controller? How big of a shot?

You have to drill in the upper shock mount plate. It's slightly different than the pic that I posted from that web site, less the black part.

It's exactly same as this pic.
