Need suspension help

Ok, just got my Progressive 11" 430's and my lowering kit. Anyone have any idea what size spacer to use to get a nice level ride? Help a brother take some guess work out.
Also, these progressive springs are almost 6" longer than the stock ones...Is that right? The part number is what shows as fitting my bike on the website.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes the springs are right. Now you won't use that long *** spacer tube. Sorry, I don't have a clue about your shocks.

you want to drop the front 1.5 to 2". Your bike is probably not level to the ground stock. Probably 2" will get a true level frame. That is bottom of frame level to ground.
