I just did the dead creek cycles rear kit as well. Install was a snap. I was taking my time and organizing some tools as I was installing the kit. Took less than an hour. Honestly, its a 30 minute job but like I said, was more piddling around then working. Just do a youtube search for softail lowering kit. There is a video that shows a woman installing the kit. Shows step by step. Very clean, very easy. It rides different, still good, just a bit more stiffer.
I also did the progressive drop ins in the front. Here is the after pic:
How was the install? If it is not too much trouble, could you upload a picture of the directions? I couldn't find them online. I'm curious.
I haven't installed it yet--and honestly haven't even opened the box yet. I have a laundry list of mods that I am doing and am trying to collect all of the parts before I get started. As was mentioned, there are some good installation videos online but I will try to post some pictures of the instructions once I crack open the box.
Lowered front w/Progressive Monotubes and rear w/422's w/RAP. I am very happy with mine. Tried to download some pics but it stops at 99% and wont fully load pics :/
