Default Lowering a 2014 with SGS shocks

Guys/Gals, check my thread on lowering the sg and other 14s with the hand adjustable shocks. Want to post this as many have spent $$ on the kit and it appears that it will only work with the HD air shocks. Here is the link https://www.hdforums.com/forum/new-r...the-bag-2.html

it'll work just fine if you swap the upper thick washers for some narrower ones. Plenty have done this and it clears the bags just fine.

The bags would not be a problem as I would've installed a thinner spacer; the big problem was the bottom of the shocks hitting the blocks

No, my shocks are installed right; I think you are talking about a person in a different post

Greetings from Italy, I'm out of the country with the wife for our anniversary but wanted to post real quick that unless something has changed since I bought my kit from macs about approx 3weeks ago it fits perfectly on my 14 SGS with no rubbing and took me about 20 minutes to install the kit. Contact them and see if the new batch has a problem. I will be back home next week and will post up some pictures.


I also posted this same reply on your other thread you have hyperlinked above just so it would be seen on both threads.
