Yes treetop, mine is raised with a 2" "Chopper Style" kit.
It sits stock mounted in the rear.

Wanna see where you put those switches. Maybe push buttons to replace the toggles to hide better...hmm..I like this idea. Do that mod soon so I can copy it and learn from you. lol

Only you can decide what's best on which mod you have to have first...but I like the rims with the trees...seems like less repeated work? Mocked up my rims (past and future) and posted some pics to help you decide...

I placed the switches on the handlebars using the HD aux switch panels. I also wired in a on/off switch so you can't accidentally change the settings.

I had to cut and add a few cms to the pigtail but ut runs underneath the tank cover to the battery.

I still need to see if I can run the wires through the handlebars...

I like that idea too, switches on the handlebars. What are "cms" that you cut and added to the pigtail? Any pics...

Setting front end "fall away" and mocking up some front fenders laying around the garage.

Some progress. Nothing completed here just mocking up to get the stance right with the tank / seat and aligning all before drilling the frame to relocate the tank back to clear the trees. May need to get the 2in lift for the front of the tank (as suggested) before making a final decision and drilling the frame. Only get one shot at it or end up with too many holes too close together in the backbone..not good. Concerns with the ride height in the rear...

Default Heartland Fender Chop

Don't really like the long, half-moon front fender look so wanted to chop it (seriously couldn't find one that fit my setup and was already short!?!).
