Talking floorboards

wondering if anyone has put angle in the floorboards? front higher than the back? I would like to bring the front up some to give me a better ride. I'm short so my legs don't reach as well as you taller people

On '08's and older models the footboard brackets can be adjusted vertically about 1/2", so you can have the rear bracket in the lower setting and raise the front to the upper setting giving you an angled footboard. Is this what you did?

I see that buelldude has an '09 and this can't be done on '09's because of the redesign of the frame and footboard brackets. There is no adjustment of the footboard brackets.
