Default Lift kits

I know DK customs has some quality merchandise.
What do you folks favor as far as the lift kit is concerned?

I have a 16 Tri-Glide ultra, bought as a left over so new.
Thanks

I got a set from Dennis at tglide stuff back in 2011. I took them off it & installed on my 14 when I traded, then took them off it & put on my 16 I got last year. They have held up real good & are a1 in quality.

I have the DK lift. Same quality as others and certainly a far better price at the time I purchased mine.

I have the Tglidestuff kit + Progressive 444-4020B heavy duty shocks. Big improvement over stock suspension.

I dont have a lot of experience on a trike just logging in over 200 miles. But what a learning curve. I dont feel as stable as i should, but perhaps that is from no experience. Everything i read about the tglide lift kits makes me think that is the way to go.

Day one bottomed out the pipes hard taking it off of the trailer. Fortunately no damage.
First ride seemed to be a little to much all over the road.
Second ride was a little better but when i hit the interstate, i could only comfortably doing 72 mph.

I have decreased tire pressure and increase air shocks, but have yet to take it out for the 3rd ride.

I didn't do anything. Rides just like Harley designed it to ride.

Hey Chamokie,

Congrats on your new Tri-Glide!

We have a variety of choices, including some 14" Trike Series Shocks that ride infinitely better than the stock shocks, AND Don't need any lift kit to go with them.

The extra length of the shock not only gives more travel, but it lifts the back up an extra inch over the stock 13" shocks. Plus they are Made in the USA and have a Lifetime Warranty.

If keeping the stock shocks, or going with some 13" aftermarket shocks, the Comfort Lift™, is the best one for your 2016 Tri-Glide is HERE.

Before spending any $, check out this Report on rear suspension, you may find the info useful.

I went from two wheels to three. I understand what you are saying, still getting accustomed to the Trike. It obviously will take some time, thinking I am going to enjoy it.

Ride it, more time in the saddle will raise your comfort level.
