Thanks for the Updates & Pictures MACH
Got my lift and springs in the blue ox! (pics)
Well I got the high lifter lift and HL Springs in. I haven't done the front yet but I might, still undecided. The lift went in easier then I thought, and the springs were pretty easy with a couple of ratches straps.
The new handling of the wheeler with the lift was awesome. It had a more sporty feel to the stearing and handling. The springs are alot stiffer then the stock springs but I like it. I did actually jump it once and with my big **** on it, it still didn't bottom out.
The only thing to watch I would think would be the rear break lines. The are a little stretched with the lift in. I am probably going to see if the PowerMadd brake line extensions will fix this. Otherwise I would highly recommend this setup.
But for everyone that will put this on a straight axle wheeler it will NOT provide any more ground clearence in the rear. The front yes back is just slight for the running boards and such. But it doesn't move the axle at all.
The last pic I went riding with some friends and they told me to get it dirty so with my KSwiss shoes and all decided to get dirty.

Let me know if you have any questions. I can take some pics of the setup close up if you would like.
BTW I was suprised how well the HL lift holds up. I even jumped my rig and everything was cool.
Nope it was actually pretty easy. The instructions are crap once you figure out how everything should be mounted it is taking a couple bolts out putting the mounts in and then tightening everything up.Nice Bike! Was the lift hard to install? Considering one myself
