Installed comfort kit when first got my trike in 2014 made a world of difference. Was able to lower shock pressure better ride, better handling and some how it made the steering a little lighter.

I had mine installed on my '18 T/G before I really had enough miles on the OEM to fairly evaluate the difference between them but I am very happy with the the current ride and the back of the trike seems to have been raised about 3/4 of an inch.
My friend bought a used '16 T/G (in the winter of '15/'16) with less than 2.000 miles on the odometer.
On his first ride (in the following spring) we met for lunch and he told me that he had hit a large chug hole that had severely jolted his spine and neck (he's got a lot of metal in him) and that he thought that he may have made a huge mistake in selling his Ultra and buying the T/G.
I encouraged him to try the DK Lift Kit before making any more decisions.
He had the kit installed and he still owns and rides the T/G today and he's thrilled with the difference in the ride.
I would suggest that before you make any decisions about changing your current suspension system that you first lower the PSI in your rear tires to 22-24 #''s and the front tire to 36 #'s PSI and then tinker with the PSI in your rear shocks (see your owner's manual) gradually until you get the ride that best fits your weight and riding style.
No trike will handle like a two-wheeler but you can "tweak" them a bit to improve them and the greatest improvements IMHO would be changing the rake of the forks which makes it easier to handle in curvese but some folks say that this does have an effect on the overall handling of the trike.
