    If he goes 285/35 22's and uses the right offset on the wheels he could go with the Western Chassis 4/6 drop which will actually drop the Harley 3" from stock in the front and the full 6" from stock in the rear. There are a couple of memebers running the 4/6 drop, man is it way low but it looks killer.

    I have the Groundforce 2X4, but had to c-notch the frame to keep from bottoming out.

    I dont think its even possible to go with a 4/6 without a Cnotch in the rear. the 6 is done with a flip kit putting the axle over top of the leaf springs instead of under it and that'll give you practically no suspension travel without a notch.


    4/6 looks killer though! dying to see one in person ;d

    You are correct sir, anything more than about 3" of drop on the rear of a Harley will require a notch or mucho bottoming out will occur.

    The ride didn't chance much except for the bottoming out. That's why the cnotch.
