Drop it. If you dont like the look, put in a taller spacer. When you see the ghetto factory springs that come out and compare them to the spring going in, you will be glad you did even if you dont drop it much.

The Burly front springs don't drop in. I called Burly and asked. Some minor dissassembly is required. The progressives drop it.

Did you install Burly or Progressive up front? The website says the kit does drop in, but I called Burly to verify and they said the forks would need to be removed and disassembled. Either way, the Progressive kit and Burly kit look the same and cost the same.

Hey BigD33, Good looking ride. This has nothing to do with lowering, but i was just talking to a friend about adding another rotor and caliper to the front... as i see you have done... How complicated was that? Does someone make a kit or did you piece it together yourself?

Burly slammer kit,front and rear. Pretty sure the progressive kit is identical. Burlys kit is a drop in and you can do it by just removing the fork caps, but I ended up taking the tubes to put in heavier weight fork oil.
