I wanna lower my 1800, did a search didnt come up with anything on here, so anybody got any tips. I know you can get shorter rear shocks, or atleast I think ya can, are there any other methods? maybe some more wallet friendly?

You can get progressive springs. Not sure of the price. Keep in mind shorter springs will trim your floor boards a little.

11.5" Progressives for the rear..... No modification is necessary. You can also get the Goldwing springs for the front and it will raise the front a bit giving you a little more air between the floorboards/pegs and the hard stuff.

u can cut ur stock springs a little shorter. it'll be wallet friendly. u might want to contact cyberchick. he does some custom work. he'll cut off springs for ur stock shocks... that's if he doesn't pitch his finger again...
P.M. him for more information.....
or u can go for Progressive shocks....

I cut my springs down myself..I happen to like the look of the stock shocks..Though it was a very "Wallet friendly" mod..It sure was a pain in the butt..probably the cheapest way to go would be sons of thunder..theyll cut your stock shocks for like 65.00 I think..If you dont mind the down time..check it out if your interested..
