Default lowering kit

Hey all, I have a 09 S/G and changed out the wheels last year for costal moto ones. Stupid me went and put a 17" (200 wide) rear wheel/tire, and the larger diameter raised the *** end, taking away that nice lowered look.

Anyone recommend a lowering kit for the **** end? and price?

Thx
Chris

most common and cheapest way is to use shock relocation brackets. those can be had via a forum vendor or the ebay for rather cheap. the brackets are a love/hate thing on the forum here. there are 30$ ones or 100$+ ones you can buy. most i've seen have 3 holes that you can choose to lower 1, or 2, or 3''. i myself are using a set of these on the 2'' lower setting on my FLHX. you should use the search button and read countless threads on this. especially with a larger tire. research is your friend. good luck!

On my 09 I used the Burly Street Slammer kit. 2" drop in for the front, 10.5 inch shocks rear. Rides great, and looks slammed.

Man that looks great. Do you happen to bottom out in the front or rear? Especially the front?
