Burly Progressive Slammer kit, Good? Bad? Thoughts?
Who has used them what are peoples take on them, is there a better choice for less money, if it's a decent setup where are the best prices to pick it up? I'm still on the fence on lowering, like the look but don't want lose function either, I can handle a stiffer ride, but don't want to be draggen all over the place. Educate me on lowering my Dyna.

I also used the rear shocks from that kit, I love the way it sits and rides. Especialy after taking off the struts you see in the signature pic.

Just comming back from Vermont and checked out the flood damaged roads.
Bad roads means rough ride.
Glad I installed (longer) shocks. 12.6 is a good length.
All I can say is wow to the devistation I seen.

I have the Burly Slammers in the rear, stock up front. I love the feel and the look. I have them tightened up to the 3rd step and the only time I have ever bottomed out was when I hit a pot hole doing 70mph. I just keep an eye out for the holes and bumps. I use forwards, but left the mids in place so I can stand on them when I do hit a hole or bump. I have riden two up many ah times with out any issues.

I have the burley on the rear only. Like you, I want to lower my front now because I'm not a fan of the look with the fronts still at stock height with my fxdwg.
As far as ride goes, I can not tell a difference. I have mine on the least stiff setting and I don't bottom out. I only weigh 145lbs though.
Best mod to my bike so far. If you ride hard you will scrape. I only scrape when I ride with my buddy who has a ducati trying to keep up with him. He ain't the best rider so its not all that hard. ha ha
When I ride by myself or with other harley's I never rub anything.
