suspension help please

Hi need suggestions
I have a 2wd '99 ranger. I am going to haul a honda 110 on a hitch mounted carrier and want my headlights to hit the road not the trees.
I'm thinking air shocks for versitility.
Any input appreciated
THANKS!
Scott

I don't think so. The bike probably weighs 225 or so and is riding 14 inches behind the bumper. It drops the rear end 2 inches. Just enough to ****-off oncoming traffic. And remember it's 2wd, alot softer than your bad boy. Then add my other gear and yeah it needs some help.


Any serious input out there???

Thanks
Scott

Adjustable shocks on the rear. Expensive...but they do what you need. Turn up the strength for towing. Turn it down for regular driving. Works great.
