Rear tire rubbing???

Has anyone out there had any trouble with the rear tire rubbing the inside of the fender after installing a lower kit (longer shock damper studs). I lowered the rear suspension on my FXSTC approx. 2" and I think the rear tire may be getting into a seat mounting stud that protrudes about 0.25" on the inside of the fender. The pre load is at the lightest setting, but I only weigh 135 and always ride solo.

Yep it's all a PITA getting ride height sorted out. That's why we make the Voodoo so it will move up if hit coz everyone is gonna hit at some point!

You got to crank up you shocks or fit a set with less travel. We do a set of Nitros with 1" throw but they are expensive so check out progressives etc

Love the look, but guess I'll have to raise her up a bit. Getting ready to put a new set of night dragons on and don't want to destroy $150 worth of rubber.
