HHI rake and trees

[Sloverado]

Im about to start into doing the 9 degree rake and tree for 26 on my 06 eg this weekend. Can you run stock tubes and lowes. I have been told so many different things not sure now. I didn't get the +2 tubes but if I need them let me know. Still learn but read a lot on here and another forum always learning and thanks for the help.

i ran stock on my 9/9 sg, on the rg i had to run +2 tubes

I will be running stock length on my SG when it is done. I have been told by several reliable sources that is the way to go. I do think it changes for a road glide, as most are having to run +2 in the tubes.

I believe hhi site says +2 on the tubes. I would just call them and be done with it.

I am going to mock mine up with stock length tubes with travel limiters. I would bet that HHI says +2 to keep all of the front travel. The problem then is the front sits higher than the rear.

This is just a guess as I am not the one with all the answers.

I was thinking the same. I was told if you went with the +2 you have to lower the front to get stock ride height.

I say start with your stock tubes, you'll know if you need to do something different after mocking it up.

 

[slothy]

and when you mock it up leave the springs out so it will sit on the stops - do you will know it wont bottom out and smack shit...

 

[Gdub]

Along the same topic, but can someone explain and or show how to put the limiters in? What are they made of and all that good stuff?

I'd be interested in what it looks like myself.

Quick, looks like you spent hours on that. Just playing. Do you know what size you used, and what did you make them out of?

 

[slothy]

got it from paul - he has all the info - it was like 1.25-1.5

 

[slothy]

ok i lied, while dropping the kids off at the pool, i remembered that i did put the forks together other than cap/air ride.

so the drawing will have to do

unless paul/someone else has some laying around he can take a picture of.
