UN Flipped 3 Months ago  
I gave up tonight and raised my rear end. I did the flip and grind lowering on my R* but, hated the clearance I lost on the curves. I was grinding the boards, frame AND my powershots! But, it LOOKED cool so I left it, Then I put my deluxe saddlebags on and they really hit the frame with Genos lowering brackets and still hit without them. I switched back to my stock silverado bags with the lowering brackets and spaced the crap out of them and finally gave up and flipped it back.

Question for those who ride lowered do you have saddlebags? and do you notice the loss of cornering ability? BTW I have the progressive spring (which lowers it an 1/2"and have it adjusted pretty tight.
