They could be. Good luck with it.

I guess I'm the only one that think's they're ugly, especially once covered with grass and schmutz?

not as ugly as a flat tire , or bent rim ..... and my stuff stays covered anyway as i never wash anything off , it has to fall off on its own... they do need more aggressive tread though....

Welp......IMHO if you can get the spring rate right, all the other work arounds don't need to be done.

Give some thought to buying a 4-Leaf HD spring, and then remove the two smallest spring leaf's on each one.

If the ride is not stiff enough....add a spring back. If it's too stiff....you still have one leaf left to remove.

Just thinking out loud!

I agree if the spring rate is correct it should ride and handle well. Thanks for the suggestion.
