When i got my lift in 2011 there was only one... Tglidestuff...
I got for the looks i just didn't like the sagged back end and scrapping tail pipes... To my surprise the trike handled better and best of all the steering effort was reduced...
Enough of them have been sold over the years , You would think Harley would know about them make them standard' Or optional..

I think it would almost be a toss-up as to which Lift Kit is the best for your Tri Glide,at the weight you will be carrying. Both of ours should work really well and I think you will really like the benefits of installing one,Dan.
I would read the Fitment Notes on both and make your decision.

Default Comfort Lift Kit

I ride solo and still went with the comfort lift vs their basic one. Kits are the same price so it is a no brainer. Buy the world's best lift kit ! "Comfort Lift by DK."

I couldn't agree more, normally Harley is good at seeing what some of the aftermarket is doing and then playing monkey see monkey do, surprised they haven't yet.

I'm sure the back room at the dealers would love it too. They hate the way the back end sags. Makes it a pita to work on them

I have the DK kit, its Great. First thing I noticed was the change and ease in Steering. I feel a smoother ride and it sits higher. Easy install.
