Has any one used this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-A...item5636ae41fa.

Are there beter kits?? cant afford to go to 422 shocks yet.

 

That kit will work. JP cycles sells a burnout kit, that is easier but twice the money. A lot of people will say you need a press to install those bolts. You can compress the shock with a jack or a vise.
PM me if you need some help.

 

I used a kit like this on my 07 FXSTC as soon as I got it home. Almost 3 1/2 years later is still working fine.

 

Seems kind of pricey. I've read other (older) threads where people say they pick these up for around $20.00. Maybe they've gone up, but I'd keep on looking, or just save for the 422s. Got my 422s (used, but practically brand new) for less than $200 last year.

 

or you could get the exact same thing without arlen ness's name on it here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...#ht_940wt_1169

 

Good find Tart.. Thats the kit i put on 2 years ago, no problems so far. Got the burnout kit on its way, we'll see what its all about. Got it for 80 bucks and supposed to take it down further.

 

Just installed that kit (the cheaper one, I'm not paying for a name) on my '05 'Train. It's a bit of a pain to get the shocks off when all you've got is a floor jack, but with some creativity and some wood blocks it can be accomplished. I had a shop put the kit on the shocks, not being sure what to expect when compressing and decompressing them with just a bench vise. So far they are great, but definitely pick up a shock adjusting tool at the stealer to adjust the preload so it doesn't bottom out in the new lowered position (about 15 bucks).

 

yep, good find. I think thats about what I paid for mine.

I lowered mine about an 1" this weekend with 2 chrome lug nuts, a few flat washers and a couple of split spacers. It cost under $10!
