it moves the floorboards out away from the frame and makes it soooo much more comfortable. your knee won't hit the air cleaner as much, feels more natural on both sides. soos is a forum sponsor here, get a set of his and you will wonder what took you so long to do it.

Cool I thought it might have been the burning the boot.

I got a laser cut decorative boot guard to stop that, but I hadn't thought about moving them out for comfort.

Installed the 3/4" kit and think it was one of the best mods I've ever spent money on.
