Default 23" rim on the front

i have a 23" rim on the front of a 2006 FXST.
when i had the 21" rim on i lower it 2" but now it rises back up. how can i get it back down to 2" lower?
Someone told me to put a fotboy down tubs on will that work? and if so what kind of fork oil should i go with?

I just asked that question and wore out the subject. Probably the best thing you could do is purchase and drop in a set of progressive springs that will lower 2," these will most likely give you a better ride too. Maybe do a search on my threads... you need to post a picture of that bad-boy.
