You will never regret it. Riding is so much more fun now. JD is the best too. Just don't get caught in curves on roads your used to because it does handle them differently now. That is not said to scare you but to prepare you. I have so many mods I found it hard calling it my best mod at 1st, I don't anymore. It is the best mod, IMHO, one can do to their sled. Enjoy!!!

I cant wait to get mine as well I should have mine friday afternoon and will install them when i get home from work saturday afternoon. Hopefully install will go smooth and get ride the rest of the weekend to test it out. Btw i have been researching these shocks for a while now and what did you mean by that handling comment? I have been told by a few people that air ride isnt all its cracked up to be. Im thinking they think that because they havent tried a shotgun shock. I hope everyone is right! I cant wait to install them!
