We had our Dealer install the lift kit when we had Lynn's TG in for her 10k service.
IMHO ... It is a MUST HAVE add-on. Actually the rear bumper and lift kit should be
put on before you leave dealership ;-)

Barbara,

You will not be sorry, the lifts are one of the best mods I have made

I was in the first bunch to receive the lifts. Put them on the wifes TG and noticed the NO sag look right away. Since then we have been to the Maggie Valley rally in N.C.and Sturgis rally S.Dak. plus many miles and places inbetween with no problems whatsoever. I personally know others that i have recommended them to and they have no problems either, they have commented on the fact that they have been able to lower the shock pressure for a much better ride.

The dealer basically shrugged when i asked about them installing these items. It was the assistant service manager I spoke to, and I think he was preoccupied, and didn't really process what I was asking. I have learned that he needs a little prodding to pay attention.

In any case, i found a reputable local HD wrench with a jack stand to help me get these on. I just don't have the right tools and such as I am not much of a mechanic. As soon as it stops raining here, we'll just do it in front of his shop while I hand him wrenches, coffee, and such. That way, there should be no potential warranty issues, either.

Eager to get the lifts and tourpack brackets on....
