Got another 1 inch drop out of the front and the rear has settled to almost 4.5. Did great on the trip. Rubs a little on the front wheel liners on really big dips. Worth it for the overall stance. Got me wanting 24's! Just love these wheels though!

Not a big change at all, a little more firm. My drop is actually closer to a 4/5 once everything settled but the kit I got from Tony on here was well worth it. Did really good on the open road,no bottoming out. I love the stance. Long over due!

What do you have on the rear?

My XL rides too soft in the back with Belltech shocks, extenders and springs.

If I ever part ways with them I will let you know! Been gettin the 24" itch! Im so picky about wheels. Gonna be a process! As far as the rear im on shock extenders 4"drop springs and the new belltech shocks. After the free travel mod it floats. Maybe a little firm if anything. I pull a trailer with up to four bikes on it so I do see helper bags in the future. Whats your set up? I want HBR's wheels!

LOL......I like my wheels too :D

I have a complete Belltech kit. Adjustable struts up front and all Belltech in the rear too. I guess helper bags are my only answer.

Took my first trip in it over New Year. Buncha luggage and 2 kids made her squat and feel bouncy. I have a trailer I'll want to pull at some point too. Gonna get with Tony on some helpers...........

Killer truck Marcus :head3:

Thanks again! appreciate it! I had more issues with my front than the rear. Everybody is different too, on what they feel or want. The helper bags look easy to install and for what the two of us are using our trucks for seem to be right up our alley. I knew going into this it would be a process soooo? Just working out the kinks. Love the stance though! Im gonna try my small trailer with two bikes and see how it does. It was fine with the kids and luggage.

Got the helpers on the morning, 2 hour DIY.

Initial impressions are fantastic, easy to see it will be simple to adjust the ride for heavier loads and with 7 PSI it rides like factory. Best $80 I've spent in a long time.
