Default Lowering Brackets

Has anyone tried the Tamarack machine works lowering brackets on their FXDF? If so did you go with the 1" or 1.75"? Any clearance problems on the fender etc? Dealership told me lowering blocks are a badidea and they put stress on parts that should not be stressed. I am thinking he just wants to sell me the Progressives I have been looking at. I just don't want to drop the $$ right now on new shocks. Any input and/or pics from FXDF owners or other Dyna owners is appreciated. Thanks.http://www.tamarackmw.com/
