Do you lose any ground clearance, especially going over speed bumps?

Of course you'll lose a tiny bit of ground clearance, but I have an Ultra that isn't lowered and haven't had any problems cornering or going over speed bumps. They make a model thats made for lowered bikes, but I don't know the difference.

No. The only problem we have experienced is the chain popping off when going over a hard bump. We think due to the tensioner which can be adjusted.

Yeah, u should definently be fine. I just noticed if u drive fast like over 70mph and hit bumps on the highway, it will slide a little bit but it's a great product.

I installed mine on a 99 2 wheel drive. If all you do is drive on streets and no big bumps including speed bumps you should be fine. When i hit speed bumps or any big bumps on my hunting property that causes the front end to bounce my shocks will keep it from stretching as far as it will go. Without the leviling kit i did not have this problem. I will install longer shocks when i have the time but i have been saying that for a year now.

Pretty significant drop from stock height . Maybe 1/2 inch of wheel gap depending on how meaty your tires are

The bike is pretty rigid. I usually just go out of the saddle when I ride over known bumps. This lets my legs absorb most of the shock.

i think so, but when i went over bumps sometimes it would come off. I suggest tying it down with bungees.

no,if all your doing is adding the air lift for stability,I also added 2inch new front coils for greater ground clearance,better than plastic spacers in the long run

No you do not, but i would recommend getting new shocks for the extra travel so that they dont bottom out

Not particularly but if you go slow and don't yank when turning the corners you should be okay. Get a second as back up, just in case. Best wishes

As long as your ride doesn't originally run like crap, your suspension components are aligned, and your not dune racing, than no it doesn't make a world of difference

hmm well I used better bushings, and bearings. i started to get speed woble at about 40-45 mph. so safely? around 30-35 mph. Hope that helps!

Maybe, but why dont you put a lift in? They would be very close to rubbing and if you hit a big enough bump the would bottom out on your fenders. If you don't want a serious &expensive; lift check out zone.

These are very fast. Going over a bump our root at full speed will result in the rc going airborne. You may have some problems hitting trees resulting in parts breaking. They are highly repairable similar to what you would but at a hobby store. I have modified one of mine after things falling off.

Yes and you have to do it often. I had to recalibrate and re trim after every crash. Even fairly minor ones.

I fell once over the small bump. I don't think it's very safe on uneven surfaces. But this just can be me. Not paying attention. I never had metal so I can't compare.

I use my left foot to feather the brakes (brake torque the engine) on and automatic transmissions. With a manual, just be ready to get off the gas and hit the brakes when you clear the incline. I have overrun them causing the ramp to tip and contact the undercarriage, and had to jack the vehicle to get the ramp out. Other than some gouges, no damage to the ramp.
