    Lifting a trike for more ground clearance??

    Has anyone ever done or thought about lifting a trike for more ground clearance? I wouldn't mind giving my big red another inch or two. I guess it would be a custom job to have that done...

    What part are you having trouble hanging up?

    If you high center on the axle, the only thing you can do is install larger diameter rear tires, but this will also raise your center of mass.

    Not sure what part you're referring to as being too low.

    you could change the rear chock, I havn;t actually bolten it up but I beleive the for remote resovior shock from a scrambler will work. atleast it looks like it will.

    If your looking for clearance for tires you could also try raising the plastics abit.
