Exclamation Decided to lower my 09 FXDC

I just ordered the the parts to lower my FXDC. I am going to lower the rear end 1 3/4 inches and the front 2 inches. I don't think it will be a problem installing the parts, I believe its pretty self explanatory. I have a couple of questions. 1. Is 1 3/4" too much for the rear if I ride 2 up. My wife is a small woman and I think I can tighten my shocks to accept my load but im sure someone out there has already done this so thats why the question. 2. Am I going to need a different size kick stand and how do I figure out what size to order? What do you you guys think?

Default low

I think you're going to drag on every turn.

I have a 2005 fxd, and if I'm racing in the canyons, I drag my mid controls which I've already raised 1". With that being said, I installed 2" lower rear shocks and lowered the front 2.5" so it would sit level.
