Not to offend but I bet your one of those guys that still fight your trike and don't quite understand the push pull lean part of steering a trike. I have met a few over the years that don't completely get it down or understand it. The ones I have shown were so surprised at the diffrence in steering there trikes by changeing there riding/steering technique. Don't get me wrong trikes are what they are but a little technique goes a long way to improve steering with or without a lift installed. You have missed something because the lift kits do make the steering effort less and have on every trike I have installed them on. The extra ground clearance to me is a secondary plus from the lift brackets.

Again not to offend just what I have seen a few times over the years.

Ride Safe,
Bill G

Just got a set for my 14. Now getting ready for the install. Not sure what lift or ride I will use as I had a set before and the Comfort Lift would not work for me with the PA shocks. I guess I had an exhaust interference I did not see.
Quality product.

If you had a exhaust clearance issue, then you'd probably want to be using position 1 and the most rearward shock bolt hole. That should get you situated.
I did position 1 for a little while, but went back to position 2 since I have a 2012 and no exhaust interference issues.

With the last brackets I think I was lacking fit up by about 1/4". I may shoot for the higher lift just to see if there is a difference in the brackets. May get lucky as the exhaust was R/O and R/I over the winter. Position may have changed just enough.
