And why yes I ditched the plastic frame for one of these.

Now if you are picky like me you will need to spend $48 so you can have matching turn signal spacers, if not the left side will be shorter than the right

Joker man,
Yes it's lowered with Shotgun Shocks, quick summary lowering kit makes for a hard ride. Do a search on Shotgun Shocks it's the only way to go
