I'm using the TMW(?) lowering blocks right now on my '19 Limited with the 13" shocks. Can't see any issue with them. Heavy machined piece.

You will when they destroy your rear swing arm. I had a buddy run the lower blocks for a couple seasons and destroyed his swing arm

Seat first. Lowering blocks second. Stay with 13-inch shocks. I ran lowering blocks for almost 40,000 miles on my Limited no problems at all.

Haven't heard of a issue with lowering blocks and the new frame!

Call George or DJ at Pro-Action and let them make a recommendation. They are the experienced suspension people. Worth the call.

I have ran lowering blocks for over 60,000 miles, I must have had a super duper swing arm.

How much lower did they make the seat. On there web site it said they could go 1 to 3 inches and also narrow it.
