Cool Has anyone upgraded their Tri-Glide's Air Shocks

I am looking to upgrade the Air Shocks on my 2012 Tri-Glide does anyone have any suggestion? Someone posted in this forum "why would anyone want to lift their ride?" I have a problem with dragging my pipes when loading or unloading the Trike into my Toy Hauler and on speed bumps and need to lift it JC Baggers said that their shocks can lift 1100 lbs but didn't say what the lift was. I only need a couple of inches. Plus being able to adjust on the fly seems like a great idea for a trike. Hard to see here but pipe ends are ground flat from dragging.

I recommend Legend Air Suspensions. I put the lift kit (similar to the other brand recommended) and their Air Ride on my 2015 TG Ultra (15K miles). We can adjust on the fly for road conditions and maintain a smooth ride. Wife loves it, and when she's not on the bike I can let some air out for a smooth ride one up. The only way to go in my book. I also have it on my 2016 Road Glide CVO. Solved the issue of ruff roads and my back issues. Great people to work with and great warrantee. There up in Sturgis year round that's their home.
