I think I agree with you guys. Been looking at a few options, but need to do some more research.

- Porterbuilt is at the top of the list, due to options, trusted design, amongst other positives. I think a mild front DM would pair well with NoLimit's rear coilover trailing arm kit and would keep it simple.

- NoLimit WideRide looks good, but I've read of teething problems which I'm not sure were ever resolved. Also don't like the idea of cutting huge reliefs into the inner fenders.

- Global West's option looks interesting, but they are stingy with the info. I'll email them to see if they can answer ground clearance, engine placement, alignment specs, etc. Downside, for me anyway, is that it keeps the steering box and linkage.

- Scott's, I'll be honest I haven't really looked at. Adding that to the 'to do' list.

...but part of me would like to go lower, especially after parking next to this pretty little thing. I'm trying to control the snowball. Once you go touring or extreme, the additional supporting mods get out of hand quickly
