I want to raise the back monoshock of my XT600e by 50mm. Any suggestions?

What's the purpose?

Does it have a linkage?

You could consider getting a longer shock.

For more ground clearance. Can't see any linkages.

Longer shock it is then. However google seems to think you have a linkage, so you could just fit different dog bones to raise the rear.

Given the choice, I'd try and go with a longer shock anyway for more ground clearance - technically a 50mm longer shock won't give you quite so much extra groundclerance, but will give you a plusher ride.

You could probably buil up a block around the pivot point to give it a new pivot point either side - but personally I'd look in to longer shocks first.
