Default Bitchin Baggers shocks

I just got a set of lowering shocks from Bitchin Baggers. For anybody thinking about doing this, i just want to let you know I am very happy with this purchase. The shocks look just like factory except they are lower. Installation is easy, and Ron was easy to talk to and asked questions so he could make sure i was getting the right setup.

Now, a question for those that have these shocks. What air pressure are you using? I set mine at 30 lbs (im 210 lbs) but Im just wondering what others are using. Im not sure if I should be using more or less.

I have the 1 1/2" lowered shocks and find that 45 to 50 lbs. of air is the best ride for me. Solo and 2 up. Ride safe and enjoy.

These shocks do connect to the stock air lines. Installation was easy. Just disconnect air lines at the shocks, remove old shocks, install new shocks, and connect air lines.
