O.K. so I can wait on the whole lift thing (maybe ). I think mods are addictive... get one, then another, and then you're hooked! Thanks for the comments everyone. I did the swap for myself, but it's nice to get the from my fellow VXers. The ride isn't that much different Rich, a little softer maybe, but with 50 p.s.i. there's not much flex. I am not hot rodding around like I normally do though (took it out of power mode even!). It's got a different vibe now , and I can always throw the 18"s back on next Spring if I need to.
