I've been lazy on the site lately, but have my new wheels on. Just getting around to an update. 21 front / 17 rear.  Did the -2 Progressive Monotube drop in front and a -1 Burly lowering block in back.  Now just waiting on wrap fender, Bad Dad stretched side covers, and windshield to come back from paint.

YEEEEE HAAAAAAA ! ! !
Thank you for the pics.  Looks great !
Thanks again !  I am on the prowl for wheels and love this look !

Tell me about the ride/handling now. ( What do you notice? Good , better, worse?  )


Did your stock fender have any problems with fitment?

Great job.  Cant wait to see the next step.  Please post those pics ! !  I check everyday !

Well, can you give us an update on the ride and the handling??

Did you just bolt on the wheels and tires?  Did you address the rake at all? 

Any info on ride/handling would be great.  I am very close to finally doing it, and sheeeeesh... I hear so many opinions !

Im leaning towards mono tube lowering the front 1" (or should I do more?... can I do more?) 
I also hope to lower the rear end with Shotgun shocks.... so would I need to lower the front more too?

Some people say I have to do the triple trees to avoid bad handling issues?

What is your experience??

Thank you

Sorry Dude.  Been busy.  Handles great.  No need to rake with only a 21".  -2 with Progressive Monotubes is what the majority of guys do based on all the research I've done.  It's what I did.  I looks good and handle fine.  No worry about bottoming out on your fender, not for me anyway.  Maybe if you were a big dude pushing 300lbs, I don't know.  I dropped -1 in back by shifting shocks back with a Burly lowering block.  I kept my cvo adjustable shocks which are some of the best.   Wheels just bolt on.  My stock cvo fender is mounted a little different that non cvo so I had to raise fender up about an inch like this. It's temporary until I get my wrap fender on.
