Default Those that have lowered their Rocker

I have a couple questions for those that have lowered their Rockers.
&nbsp\\;
1.) Which lowering kit did you go with?
2.) Did it change the way it rides dramatically? Did it make it better or worse?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,
&nbsp\\;
Keith

Default RE: Those that have lowered their Rocker

Well I dropped my blue baby off to get her lowered today using the Arlen Ness Slam Kit. The tech asked me how much I wanted it lowered. I told him 2 to 2.5" and he said it would ride like&nbsp\\;a hardtail. Maybe that is his experience with lowering a Softail in general. Is the Rocker different as far as the Arlen Ness Slam Kit goes? He was going to initially do 1.5" and then ride it to see.
&nbsp\\;
Everyone here that has lowered theirs does not seem to say it made it significantly worse on the ride.
