What's preventing you from going lower in the front? Are the struts bottomed out, or is the tire hitting the inner wheel well?

the struts bottom out right when the bags do. if the strut i used would have been 2 or 3 inches shorter it would be fine. i was amazed to find that stock struts with lowering springs would ride at the same height mine bottoms out at. you need these struts with the bags cause they are made to ride the same at any height unlike stock struts.

the top mount, bearing and bag mount are about 3.5 inches tall so what i plan on doing is cutting the strut tower out and raising it with 6 inch pipe. then the 3.5 inches will slide into the pipe and get the front frame rails about half an inch off the ground. the inner fender can just be cut out.
