Lift kits and suspension
Hi Everyone, I am new to trikes and this forum. I am unhappy with my 2017 tri glide suspension and am looking for advise. I am looking at the DK lift kit and shocks and wondering if anyone has reviews they’d like to share? My current ride is too rough on bumpy or back roads. I am looking for a smoother ride and at least be able to keep up with cars, who knows maybe even 2 wheeled vehicles. Any thoughts?

Kevin welcome aboard. there are several feedbacks on the DK lifts and shocks. There has NEVER been a negative. And I would expect at LEAST a dozen positive feedbacks. I have done both to my 2013 and would not ever go back. The difference is that good.

Welcome aboard, Kevin!
I have the DK 14" shocks & lift kit. SO much better than the stock setup. IMHO it is the best mod I have done to my Tri. The DK folks will set them up for your wt and the way you ride. They are GREAT folks to deal with too.
It is what it is.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your new Tri-Glide! It can take a bit of time, and a few mods, but you can get your TG very Comfortable and able to keep up with cars!
You can see reviews on some of our suspension mods at these couple of links- LINK 1 LINK 2 Scroll down a bit on both of those and click the "Reviews" button.
as well as all throughout this forum. At DK we are all about making the ride smoother, more comfortable.

Check rear tire pressure. 22# may work for you.
Lift kits do help.
Pro-Action shocks are a little pricey but better than stock.
I also did Prog Susp FST kit in the forks and that works well.
YES on the DK ProAction 14" shocks with Comfort Lift Kit. Made a world of difference. Like you my wife and I were very unhappy with our TG's ride quality. After learning about the offerings from DK and talking with Kevin we made the purchase the first month of ownership and have been exceedingly pleased with the improvement.
Recently based on reviews and suggestions I replaced the stock Dunlop rear tires with a set of Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds. They have a more flexible sidewall and that added to the ride quality also. With these changes we are very pleased with the rear suspension on our TG.
Good luck
Welcome to the Gang from Western Colorado.
Do some research on the DK reviews ... maybe do some searches on the forum about customer reviews ... as stated before ... lots of them here and all positive.
JUST DO IT
It is the best setup out there I have never seen a negative post on it I love mine
I have the DK Lift kit on my 2011 TG.
It made a significant difference in the ride and handling of the trike.
I haven't changed the shocks out yet, but I intend to.
The folks at DK are the best.

HI KEVCO, I'm new to this site but a couple of my friends who have tri-glides put lift kits in and they said the ride now is great !!!
Like you, my lady and I where not happy with the ride on our 14 TG. Went with the 14" shocks with the lift kit. Best money spent and would be the first thing I do if I where to get another TG.
I have the DK 14" shocks & lift kit. just finished the install yesterday Best thing I have did to the trike. What a great ride now.
I have had my 2016 a little over a week and already ordered the DK Comfort lift kit; floor board 1" extenders; 1-1/2" tank lift and the air deflector things.
Had this and more on my 2015 freewheeler!
22-24lbs in tires 24lbs in shocks works better for me in stock form on this 2016 Tri
and will be my choice with the DK Comfort Lift Kit!
Welcome aboard!
