dumb ?

hey guys i know this might be a dumb and easy question, i was saying before that im gonna do a 3'' spindle lift and tork up my t bars. so that makes it seem like the front is going to be a lot higher and i dont want that. i like the look of it being level.. so what could i do to level it out?

Your looking for the 66.65$ set. That should level you out perfectly

short leaf usualy rides a little stiffer and the long is a little smoother.

i know some people have had problems with fitting the long leaf ones. idk if its the person doing it or if its a problem. i know the short ones work great.
