    Default DK Customs Confort Lift Kit

    I don't have the tools, setup or other equipment needed to install the comfort lift kit. While back at the dealer this morning where I purchased my Tri Glide, I asked if they could put it on for me. They quoted me 3 hours of labor. WTH? For two steel brackets and 4 bolts? Is there something I'm not understanding about this install?

    Pops, you do have to jack it up and take the wheels off, but it is a very easy install after that, I did my own and put the pro action shocks on and I am by no means a mechanic, dk has a installation video on there you tube page. Good luck with whatever you decide

    So does the DK Customs kit replace stock brackets?

    Yes... exactly and the video does it really well a set of combination wrenches and a simple torque wrench the bar type will do watch the video it's a simple job. a bottle jack and a pr. of jack stands or something like that easy take your time and do it. For what they want for labor you can buy Jack stands and wrenches and still save money. Fred

    Just installed the DK proaction shocks 14” and lift kit on my 2017 tri Glide. Difference is amazing. Smooth ride. Bumps disappear. Handling greatly improved. Also added the 506 air cleaner and breather. Major improvement in engine response. Had H-D dealer do the install. 4 hours charged. Seemed high but I have someone to go back to,if needed. Chandler Arizona Harley Gas an excellent tech.

    Did the 14 shocks and comfort lift a year or so ago on my 14 TG. Pulled in to my buddies drive way, Jacked it up and used jack stands. Everything was changed over and on my way in about 2 hours, including a cup of coffee and a good cleaning of the rear wheels while they where off. Well worth the effort. The dealer is a business with overhead, and somewhat assuming responsibility if something gets screwed up.

    We have dozens of dealerships that buy these from us and install them regularly. They normally charge anywhere between 1 & 2 hours labor.You can contact our shop on Tuesday and find out if we have a dealership in your local area that regularly installs these....

    I see you are in the Dallas area, I do not know what Dealerships we have there, but will check on Monday or Tuesday.

    Here is a video on how we do it...we done it a bunch of times and it takes us around 45 minutes, start to finish. Doing it the first time, taking the time to read the instructions first, then going taking your time, it is reasonable to expect 2 - 2.5 hours.

    Yep, I got a hundred pounds or so of factory brackets in a pile...prolly should put them in the recycle bin.

    You’re probably a little like me I take something off put it on the side and never throw it out because I always think you never know I might be able to use it for something Else’ my sons are always telling Me why don’t you throw all that junk out but then every so often i get a call from one of them!! “ Hey dad do you happen to have such and such piece/nut Bolt laying around in your junk pile? Then after an hour digging through my junk I have it and I can tell him see aren’t you glad I didn’t throw it out😁...1

    Just checked...no Dealership in the Dallas area that buy and install on a regular basis....but I'm betting that there are other folks on the forums that are near you that may help you out.

    I too also have installed the DK Proaction 14" with the lift brackets. Had DK preload the shocks before sending. Ride does feel better than stock. I have mine set you for my wife and I. I'll tell you this, the more weight the better the ride becomes. I installed them myself, trike had less than 500 miles on it. Pulled it in the garage, grab a beer, walked around the bike and went to work. Took right at 2 hours to complete. First thing i notice was the handling. Can't go wrong! There's is a small issue...the smaller your hands are the better. I don't have small hands.

    I went to install my lift today, didn't work out like the video, had it jacked like in the video, couple 2x4's on jack, but when trying to put jack stands underneath it didn't work out, had jack far enough back so not to hit the body and my jack wheels and frame was in the way and I couldn't see another way of doing it, tried jacking up with jack on the bumper and got so far but then backed off, I didn't feel comfortable doing it that way. I have a another way I might try at a later date by tying down the front end and jacking it up on the big plate in front of axle, if not someday I will get it figured out, I helped a guy put his own last year but did it at my friends house in his shop, but with covid19 going on I haven't been there or visited him since February. With what I did today I will have to put 50 miles and do the the rims again, wished I would have jacked it up and looked before I loosened the nuts on rims and then I could have seen it wasn't going to work out like the video and then the rims would be good to go without checking again, oh well, someday I will get the lift on, maybe just drive up to my friends house since he is 50 miles away and use his shop but with this crap going around I can't afford to get it with my lungs being bad.

    Well I tried a couple different ways today with no luck, will wait until I get to my friends house when the covid19 tames down a little. He has been a friend for over 50 years and he understands why I don't come up and visit, he gets enough people visiting him so I can't take the chance. He has a hoist and that worked great last year when I helped another friend put on a lift kit.

    Since I loosen the wheels yesterday but didn't take them off I torqued them to 95 foot lbs and then took a spin today and put 50 miles on trike and checked them, still good to go, will check again with another 50 and be done.

    All for now Trampas
