Bought this suspension setup so I didn’t have to adjust the preload when riding 2 up anymore. I will say, it’s a little stiffer than stock when riding solo, but when riding 2 up you can’t hardly feel the bumps anymore. Stock setup used to bottom out the shocks all the time, even properly adjusted. Since having the Wilbers installed,we haven’t bottomed out once. Thoroughly impressed and completely happy with my purchase.
