Tank lift kit question

Guys, i want to order now 2" tank lift for Rocker as well. Wanted to post same question and just see this threat, As i got recommendation from you before, i just wonder now which one i should chose. Both companies do not mention Rocker so hopefuly if i order Softail version, it will work......
This one from choperstyle is black powder coated

The standard looks like this:
and the chrome like this:
They have three sizes: 2", 2½", and a 3". I believe the 3" would take more modifications for the speedo to work and the kit does not come with those parts. I am installing the 2½" Premium Kit on my Rocker this winter, along with several other modifications. In terms of what one to choose , I think it is whichever one you think will look better on your bike.
and the chrome like this:
The difference is the chrome has:
1. stainless steel fuel crossover line
2. chrome hose ends, and
3. two Hot Topper caps for the bolts

Put mine on tonight. Ebay item number 140290208267 It is a 2" or 3". I just cut off the extra hole for the 3".
Installed in about 10 minutes. Didn't have to change the cross over line. 2" is as high as you can go without doing something to the speedo wiring and the cross over line. Had to pull up on the tank with everything I had to get it up high enough to slide the bolt through. Ended up loosening and rotating the bars rearward, which rotates the grips up a good bit. Loosened up the controls and rotated them back forward. Gave me about a 1" clearance between the turn sigs and tank. Also, improved my riding position as the grips are higher and further forward.
Installed the heavy breather tonight as well. Just waiting on the TTS to get here tomorrow to bust this thing wide open. I installed the Pegs and grips Christmas day.
