Default FXDWG height before and after

I installed a set of Progressive 970's and a new C & C seat. The end rest with the add on's was the bike sits a bit higher (970's are 12.5 .5 longer than stock). I have a short inseam so it just allows me touch with the from of my feet. I am looking at LA choppers 1" lowering blocks for the rear. My question is then should I also lower that front? I see that Progressive has "drop" in spring that will lower up to 2"'s? I also have Ricor Intiminators that I plan on installing this week.

Anyone have any idea how this would turn out?

I have the same problem and lowered my front by 2 inches...which did not help me reach the ground at all
I was disappointing to spend the money and not get the results I was looking for

try sliding the tubes up in the triple tree and see how you like the lower height.
