I hope you dont plan on going over 5 mph, cause if you do you are going to bang the ish out of the back. Only reasons baggers get away with tucking wheels is because they do not drive that low unless they arnt going more then 5 mph. All I can say is watch for speed bumps.

the reason why i ask if ur turning, is because of the body roll when you go around a corner, its gonna rub unless u have a real stiff suspension.
