Default Lowering Kits?

Hello,
What are the best ways to go on lowering kits for a 06 deuce, about 1 and 1/2 inches? Has anybody bought the newer lowering kit that doesn't require the press or special tools, if so how's the ride? I know Progressive is one of the best, but this require's those tools,etc. how is the ride with this set-up? I'd still like to pack my wife, would this make the tire hit the fender? Let me know, thanks!
