What to go with for lowering a softail
Looking for opinions on what company and product to go with for lowering my Deuce.
I want something thats adjustable, but I dont need air ride adjustment or anything. Basically looking to see what company you guys would go with. What provides the best look, best ride but yet wont kill my wallet!
Thanks guys!!

ness rear lowering bolt then the two inch lowering kit from white brothers. but dont go too drastic on the back imo keep it less than 2 incheson the rear or you will have many clearance issues while turning. I first slammed my rearbut it was horrible kept scaping pipes and primary cover now its only about2inches lower but the key to everything was lowering the front also it gives it a much better ride overall than just the backi think its because of the shocks. theres still a potential to scrape a bit but not nearly as much as before i also think lowering the frontit took slight sprung weight off my rear and thats the most improvement and the wife thinks it rides better.also I am 160lb but have ridden it when i was 180lb but if you arealot more than that i would recomendkeepingthe rear at about 1 to 1 and a half inch lower. IF your know how tod the work yourself it will be very cheap you can find the ness kit for about 50 or less on ebay abd the white brothers kit for about 125or less. but dont have a dalership do it find a small shop around where you liveget a price before they install it someshop will charge as little as 140 to do the work but 200 is fair. it will dramatically improve your ride but take in mind the pipes you got some dont give you enough clearanceat stock hieght i had that problem with D&D fatcats but any pipe without a big collector should be goodhope this helped

I just slammed my rear end with Progressive 422s. I'm probably gonna raise them back up a .5" or so. These shocks have independent preload / ride hight adjustments. I haven't tuned them yet, but I will say the drop when lowering them all the way is pretty drastic. I got mine at www.phatperformanceparts.com
