Arrow Advice on LIFTING truck in the front...

Just put my 24's on the Harley last night, and rubbing in front a little. (24x10 on 305/35/24)

Wondering if anyone of you guys here, know of the best way to RAISE the front up an inch or so?

Thanks fellas.

The only thing I can think of is to install a set of 2" lift coils and alignment bolts.

I don't know if there is a urethane spacer available to lift it. If there is, then try that along with the cam bolts.

Good luck,

Mike

im also wondering if stock springs from a non-harley supercrew will raise it just enough..

I just checked out WWW.JCWHITNEY.COM

They are called Daystar leveling kits.

The standard SuperCrew springs may work. I never thought about that. Maybe someone in your area has an extra set sitting in a corner to try or sell.

WISENHIEMER,

I've done that once. The only way the springs will work upside down is to put it on it's roof. It's not a good thing to play with sprung and unsprung weight this way. The vehicle doesn't run very well in this condition.

Nice name by the way.

Mike
