keep in mind that slamming the rear suspension changes your stock rake at the neck. lowering the rear kicks out the front end a little and add a few degrees when using the rake/trail calculator.
one more thing.if you add raked trees remember that the stock deuce trees have 2 degrees of rake, so replacing them with 5 degree trees will really only add 3 degrees of rake. in that case i'dinstall 3 degree cups.7 degree trees with some longer tubes would defenitly be more noticeable....if that's the look you're going for. good luck.
Great advice Lobo. Was thinking about doing something
like that over the winter myself. Thanks to you, now I'll
know exactly what to do.

Carlini supersweeps are also made in 5" and 7" risers. Mine
are the 9". I'm not 100% certain but maybe you would be
able to get the7" risers on without touching the tank dash.
Best to give Carlini a call to be sure about it though.
