Is it better to use ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION LOWERING KIT ,or No Shock Removal - Ultimate Easy Softail Lowering from dead creek???
Do you have more travel with adjustable ones?

 

I bought the lowering bolts for like $15 and haven't installed them yet. I looked at the no shock removal ones like dead creek and they look nice if you don't have access to a press to disassemble the shocks, but you're stuck at whichever height the spacer sets it to. Whereas the bolts will allow you to go as low as you'd like down to about 2" I believe.

I like the idea of being able to adjust the height, especially if going on a longer trip or 2 up, I can raise it back up to stock height to keep from destroying my back.


If you search, there's a ton of info on all different ways to lower the bike and opinions how each way functions and affects the ride.

 

Thanks, I do have a press I can use..
Thought maybe you lose a little travel with the collar set up..

 

you'll lose travel with collars or bolts. Most on here will tell you to get new shocks if you want to go lower since with the bolts the ride will likely be considerably worse if you try to go with the "slammed" look.

 

Thanks for the info
