Can anyone comment on ride height with these? I am hoping to use these on a V70R but not if it increases the height relative to the rear. Thanks.

I had after market shocks on my 850r and put these on my front when it went out. They sat up a little higher at first but settled an inch or two and looks good. Even with it lowered in the back, mine still looks good.

My old worn-out strut assembly had the front end riding too low. These raised it back to where it should have been.

You can just install these alone however take into consideration the factory stance is much taller. These will lower the rear of the bike 2-4" depending on the model. Mine was 4". Leaving the front with stock springs will work but make the front appear taller for sure and give it a raked out look. If you want to lower the front to make the bike appear more level then it's all a matter of your own taste. Function and geometry won't be affected by lowering the rear alone so it's up to you on the front. I used a Burly lowering kit on the front of mine to drop it 2" and level it out some. The Progressive kit is also good. You can just install these alone however take into consideration the factory stance is much taller.

I wouldn't be so worried about the width it's about being able to drive up them. In my stock height scion FRS my bumper hits so they are useless to me. So a lowered stang probably can't get up them.

not sure they would fit, but I am very disappointed with mine...over 12k on mine and they have never been very smooth on the ride, but they did help handling. I would look at the Harley premium shocks--or spend the extra bucks and buy some real quality shocks from howard at motorcycle metal. check out his reviews from other riders at hdforums.com

No, this won't give you any noticable lift. It might be a little bit higher due to being new, but it's not designed to give you any lift. The front ones that are ride height adjustable will give you anywhere from 0"-2.5", but not these rear ones. I recently put Bilstein 5100s on my 2005 4Runner, and I love them. I did the ride height adjustable ones in the front, set at 2.5", these ones in the back, and then I bought some Daystar 1.5" spacers for the rear, as well. So the front is lifted 2.5" and the rear is lifted 1.5". I love the way my rig looks now!

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

I actually just bought this shock and upcountry spec leaf and coil springs. They work fine, you just don't have quite as much potential downtravel. But unless you have a few other upgrades and do serious offroading you will never notice. After installing the new shocks my jeep rides a lot smoother, I highly recommend them.EDIT for clarity: the coil and leaf springs I just installed bumped me to 2.5 inches above stock height in the front and rear. The shocks work great, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I have tall bushings on my Ruger SR1911 with standard thickness VZ Grips and they work perfect. I put o rings on them, you don't have to tighten as hard and won't back out.

I just measured the ones we put on my Hubbies Mistress, a 1990 Harley Softail and they currently measure 11.5" and they are adjusted for a lower ride already. Hope this information helps.

You need to make sure you order the right diameter of bar for the riser. I put these on a v star with minimal effort, just go slow and take your time. Some minor modification may need to be made, and you may need to drill a hole or 2 depending on your grips and boxes.

We have not had any issues with the ride height for this conversion as we have sold many without issues. Being that they are metal coil springs, they will settle in a week. Also, when comparing to the old air suspension ride height, over time the rear will not sit as high as it was from the factory due to leaks and wear of the seals/rubber components on the OE air strut.

you need a 700c rim for skidding and I recommend to start away from water with these because they will slip a lot. They're great if you're skid happy and I've never gotten a flat. I also recommend to use it just as a rear

No these are stock ride height; actually seem shorter since they cannot be compressed by hand like standard shocks

Sorry the rise is the way the handle bar is made. It brings the handle bar up closer to you . Your arm reach. They will not fit on some mountain bikes. Thanks

These leaf springs do not add lift. If you are experiencing "sag" in the rear, these will correct that and return the vehicle to "stock" ride height.

They shouldn't cause any problems with the shorter lift. The RE arms are only about .25 inch longer than the stock ones, and are included in both the 3.5 and 4.5 inch XJ kits.
