    Thumbs up

    Does anyone know if these will fit my 04 2WD VHO? It is lowered with 3" drop springs in the rear, but I don't think that will matter.

    Lakewood bars

    Thanks in advance.

    I know, I decided to keep my truck. But the Caltracs look like a PITA to put on. So, here I am.

    well the cal tracs are pre loadable..so if you are only concerned about traction at the strip then just unload them and they will drive like factory....loaded they are a bit stiffer because they are essentially pushing the springs back down

    I think there is a setting for strip/street "just touching the leaf" have you tried this setting
